The first Sun Day was held on May 3, 1978, as designated by President Jimmy Carter.
Carter had installed 32 solar-thermal panels on the roof of the White House.
Carter had presented an ambitious plan to put America on a path to 20% of energy from renewable sources by 2000!
Then came Reagan and his fossil-fueled lobby who removed the panels and strangled clean energy tax credits and research funds.
