photo via 350.org By now, most people have heard this story. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the roof of the White House, but when the Reagan Revolution swept into power a few years later, Reagan famously had the panels taken down. Well, it’s a new day, and it’s high time for those panels to go back up. Solar power in the U.S. is rapidly growing, with 91 MW coming on line la… Read the full story on TreeHugger
