we would probably still have the same ones. I’m pretty sure modern solar panels are much more efficient.

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.
