Amazing, that was a great read. In conclusion, someone who actually thinks and understands what they are writing about. Quite difficult to determine lately, especially on blog sites . I bookmarked your web blog and will make sure to keep returning here if this is how you always write. thank you, keep it up! .

Perhaps they just didn’t want to junk-up the White House roof with failed technology incapable of producing even a trivial amount of electricity.

We’ve wasted millions on Solar and barely gotten anywhere with it. Absolute joke.

I always thought these were photovoltaic panels — intended for producing electricity rather than heating water. Since they are the latter, hence probably closer to today’s state of the art than 1980 PV panels would be, it seems even less encouraging that they won’t go back up on the White House.

The young little Whitehouse ‘Democratic’ politico $hit$ in DC are a$$hole selfabsorbed and ego bound pricks, who are like slick car salesmen with the ‘Bama talk getting into the Whitehouse but don’t walk the walk of pushing REAL liberal progressive action. They are so into and enslaved to the conservative trope memes that are called moderate independent & laughingly liberal which goes to show how far to the radical right this country has gotten. It’ll take AS RADICAL liberal policy changes just to get the country right side up again.

They couldn’t even friggin say they’d model the panel somewhere to be seen by the public and instead use modern technology and integrate it into the gardening stuff Michelle started. The crap attitude and mindset of Rahm Emmanuel oozes the disdain for progressives and leftwing liberals in these ‘staffers’ that have been hired as professional in-name-only liberal goons. I have helped in 2004-08 campaigns alongside many of these ‘professional’ political operatives sent into my state(Iowa) and many had worked for their local Repugnicans where they lived in college during the 80′s- 90′s to build their resumes and later with the winds changing shopped around to whoever was newly in the power position just to get a job or lobby. They’re bluer than Blue-Dog Democrats, but aleast not like the southern Dixicrats that left in the 60′s and spawned this Tea Party Anti-Obama Nation (Abomination).

You would think that our government would want to lead by example. This really disappoints me as I work with Sharp and have been doing some research on solar panels. Since traditional means of generating electricity call for the burning of coal and other fossil fuels which release harmful pollutants in the environment and solar panels, on the other hand, use the suns rays to generate electricity, that our "leaders" would want to show us how to use this clean and renewable energy source. solar Panels

Oh come on, who cares if the panels are from 1986? The fact that they still work should say it all.

Yup, 80s era solar panels are the key.
