White House to receive solar power


USA Today reported that the White House plans to install solar panels on the top of its living quarters by spring of 2011. The panels will be used to heat the water system used by the first family and also generate some electricity. Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush have also previously made solar adjustments to the White House. The Obama adminstration says that this improvement has been under consideration since he took his place in office. Climate change activists are calling on Obama to become the face of solar power after the announcement.
