The Carter Panels. Establishing American Energy Dominance (a SEIA 2025 policy priority) has some roots in the Carter era and decade of oil turmoil. During the Carter administration, the White House installed solar thermal panels over the White House pool and then the Reagan admin pulled them off. A decade ago I received a tip that the Obama White House had installed PV panels on the actual White House roof but I never asked what happened to the original Carter panels. So today’s story about their provenance is quite a nice break from the usual noise coming from DC.
