Why Do We Know About Solar Panels On The White House?

Solar panels will be installed on the White House rooftop as of Spring 2011, but you’ve probably heard that from popular news. The United States is expected to feel the surge of energy and follow suit, I suppose, as the president sets and example for the rest of the country.(?)

Now that a push to stop Global Warming has been stalled in the Senate, Obama has committed to pursuing this problem “on a smaller scale.” A much smaller one.

Obviously, if Obama installs solar panels on the White House, the rest of the country will follow suit and Global Warming will be slowed down just that much more.

Wait….what???

Does the Obama Administration really think that promoting the installation of solar panels to the White House will do anything regarding our ever-increasing global warming issue?

Driving in to work today, driving back from lunch, and sifting through major news on the Huffington Post, I heard/read about the Obamas installing solar panels on the White House.

Why is this World News?

We are talking about a handful of tiny solar panels that will generate some power to one structure. When the possibility of a new solar farm came about, possibly powering entire cities, did anyone take notice?

It seems that the Obama Administration needs should be more focused on promoting actual green initiatives.

What about Nipton, California? Their entire town is designated to be powered completely by solar power, due to the advanced technology that can take advantage of the solar power received. For those of you who have heard about the Obamas adding solar panels to the White House: Have you even heard about the power options in Nipton?

I want to end this article with an idea for you to ponder: adding solar panels to the White House seems to have gained more immediate popular media attention than the disastrous flooding in Pakistan, affecting at least 14 million people and killing over 100, at least.
