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.
when a more intelligent person is President,
I envy your stable mental state
Trump removing the rose garden, twice.
Oh yeah, I vaguely remember that one. I guess Reagan was only better than Trump because most of the government was still kinda OK when he started fucking it up.
Yeah, and You know how Reagan's policies are still fucking shit up 40 years later? How long will Trump's fuckups be felt. The next 4 or 5 generations are already fucked.
I wouldn't be opposed to the Dems winning the next election but yeah, it wouldn't change much. Something more fundamental is required.
Well good news. That won't be happening. Once you go bad enough and people lose confidence in the farce that is government, a new one must be made.
True. I'm no history buff, but I think it usually requires things to first get even worse, like a war or a revolution, before it gets better.
Reagan was the devil, but since he was an actor he could pretend to be the nation's loving grandpa.
Acting!
