Agreed, but with the way gummint tends to hold onto things past their usefulness date, we would probably still have the same ones. I'm pretty sure modern solar panels are much more efficient. So we either install new ones when a more intelligent person is President, or we paint 'em gold and slap 'em on the top and sides of the new ballroom. Easy to convince His Orangeitude they were his idea.
Right now, there are none though. And significantly fewer plants too.
Plenty of Russian Plants in the Whitehouse.
and plus the other russian mouthpiece"the left left me abandoned" tulsi gabbard.
Hardly the point. Even if you blanketed the white house grounds with panels, it's not putting a dent in overall power usage for the area.
It is, however, a very visible signal, "we value renewables, science, and intelligence" that shows progress away from the old world, and that scares a lot of old white people.
They were water heating panels, not pv.
That's what I vaguely remembered but it's been a few regimes and I'm old. As would they be if still in place.
I envy your stable mental state
