Power forward

Install Solar on the White House instead of buying new drapes every four years.

Why is this important?

As citizens, we have a stake in the operation of the White House. After all, our tax dollars pay to heat, cool and light the place. The President had said in 2009 he would like to have solar panels on the White House. I would like for those Americans who believe in using all energy resources available start a campaign for private citizens to raise the money to be able to cover the White House's power needs.
The plan would be for private donations to be taken to cover the material and labor costs. All donors would be recognized by engraving their names on the solar panel frames like some charity campaigns use when donors have their names etched in bricks for a memorial walkway.
Unlike Ralph Lauren's Olympic Uniforms, every single component of the system, from the mounting bolts, to the wiring, to the solar panels and inverters would be American made. Today, Solar power is economically justified when you are planning on using it longer than 5 - 10 years. Well, the White House will be around long enough to receive the payback. Plus, it would be a great societal symbol for the country and rest of the world. For Pete's sake, the Vatican is covered with Solar and they know how to manage their money.
