Bill Press Reagan Removed Solar Panels From White House

I am starting a campaign to urge president.

Bill press reagan removed solar panels from white house.

In 1991 unity college an environmentally centered college in maine acquired the panels and later installed them on their cafeteria. Regan felt that the equipment was just a joke and he had it taken down the panels were removed in 1986 when work was being done on the white house roof below the panels. George charles szego the engineer who persuaded carter to install the solar panels reportedly claimed that reagan s chief of staff donald t. Reagan was quoted as saying the panels were unsightly and unnecessary.

Reagan who didn t think much of solar energy also allowed the tax credit carter had instated to lapse. Solar panels finally back on the white house almost 30 years after reagan removed them new 50 comments by nathan ingraham may 9 2014 1 50pm edt. It all started back in 1979 when then president jimmy carter installed 32 solar panels on the white house roof. This symbolic installation was taken down in 1986 during the reagan presidency.

In 1986 when the price of energy was temporarily cheaper and americans minds were less focused on environmental issues president reagan ordered the panels removed from the white house roof. During the carter administration solar panels were installed on the white house roof. Reagan saw the solar panels installed by carter for what they were a public relations stunt and ordered them dismantled. The panels were used to heat water for the first family and for water in the white house laundry and cafeteria.

When ronald reagan was elected he opted to have them removed. In 1986 ronald reagan removed the solar panels installed by jimmy carter from the white house. In 1979 jimmy carter in a forward looking move installed solar panels in the roof of the white house.
