What ever happened to those solar panels on the White House Chu promised?
Last fall, Energy Secretary Chu pledged to add solar panels onto the White House roof before the start of summer 2011. As summer 2011 draws to an end, McClatchy News asks what happened, while reporting that the presidents of the Maldives and India have already beat the U.S. to the punch. (Beyond Nuclear Launch Partner Steve Strong of Solar Design Associates was in charge of adding solar panels to the National Park Service controlled swimming pool area of the White House during the George W. Bush administration, mentioned in the article.)
