Just a thought on Jimmy Carter and things [View all]

Carter put up the 1st generation of solar panels on the White House (water heaters) and said this is the future but Reagan, the Republicans, and the fossil fuel industry took 'em down and told everybody that "this hippy fad" will not be needed. Where would the world and America be now if we had stuck with green energy? How many millions of tons of carbon not been sent up into the atmosphere?

Jimmy & Rosalyn Carter were a gift to us all.

We all need to keep up the fight for them.
