CARTER'S SOLAR PANELS: Half of the 32 solar panels that once heated water for the Carter White House still grace the roof of the Unity College cafeteria in Maine.

they were replaced by the evil Reagan with a coal-fired furnace fed by imported child laborers.

The standard story is that Reagan had the panels taken down, although I don’t know the truth to that or, if true, why he did so.

[mylife]

Reagan had them removed immediately.
Then he got on the horn to Iran.

Actually Solar water-heating is feasible and cost-effective NOW, unlike photovoltaics [which need some more development], in places like Arizona and New Mexico.

And no doubt, they are still working, assisting the tin roof in providing shelter from sun and rain.

I hope the evil Reagan did not fuel the furnace witht the imported child laborers.

Guess that better then child-fired furnace fed on imported coal

I hear ya. They clog the flue and the smoke has a slightly unpleasant odor. I prefer seasoned imported labors as a heating fuel.
