Group Wants Solar Panels on the White House

Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org, and a group of students in a biodiesel powered van are hoping to convince President Obama to have solar panels installed once again on the White House. President Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed in 1979, but they were later removed by President Reagan. McKibben and his crew also have one of the original solar panels once on the roof of the White House and want it to be placed on display on the grounds.
