On June 20, 1979, 32 solar water heating panels were placed on the roof of the West Wing. . . . At the dedication ceremony for the panels, President Carter said, “In the year 2000 this solar water heater behind me, which is being dedicated today, will still be here supplying cheap, efficient energy… A generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken or it can be just a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people”.[1]
