[AC_Hacker]

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.

"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."
