Default Jimmie Carter's Solar Collector Speech 1979

A flash from the past...

From a speech by Jimmy Carter June 20, 1979 on the day solar hot water panels were installed on the White House.
Quote:
"A generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be just a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people - harnessing the power of the sun to enrich our lives as we move away from our crippling dependence on foreign oil."
Jimmy Carter, 1979



What happened to the Solar Panels?

Here is the story.

A full length film has been made about the solar panels.
