It’s June 20th. This day in 1979, Jimmy Carter held a ceremony to celebrate the new solar panels that had been installed on the White House roof. The panels were symbolic support for new energy initiatives, but also looked to reduce the building’s energy bill at a time of soaring gas prices.

Jody, Niki and Kellie discuss the panels, the green energy efforts, and why Ronald Reagan tore them down.
