Put solar on what?
How about everything.
Yes, Put Solar on the White House. That is a great symbolic gesture to get the ball rolling.
This achievement will be an important symbol to the world that the United States is committed to realizing the environmental and economic benefits of clean energy.

But that should be but the tip of the melting iceberg.
We need actions, not words.
The baffling and demoralizing failure of the Senate to pass energy/carbon legislation in the face of the worst ecotastrophe in our nation's history is a dropping of the gauntlet.

No more Mr. Nice Treehugger.
This is f-cked up -- it's time to get mad, and then busy.
I wrote the first book for a general audience on global warming back in 1989, and I’ve spent the subsequent 21 years working on the issue. I’m a mild-mannered guy, a Methodist Sunday School teacher. Not quick to anger. So what I want to say is: this is fucked up. The time has come to get mad, and then to get busy.
You will enjoy reading the whole piece; trust me.
350.org has done so much great work to get people active on climate issues. Will you take a moment to support their latest efforts?

Put Solar On It
We thought our leaders should have a chance to get personally involved too, which is why we're today launching a special campaign aimed just at them.
Each one has a roof over their heads--in India at the Rashtrapati Bhavan; in Mexico they call it Los Pinos, and in Washington it's the White House.
Those roofs need solar panels--and we hope they'll go up on October 10, just as around the world people are taking practical action in their own communities. It's remarkably easy to send a message to your leader--just click here for instructions:
Sign the petition to tell World Leaders to Put Solar On their nation's prominent government buildings.
But that's not all.
We have just over 2 months before 10/10/10 when there will be global action to raise awareness about the urgency of climate change.
Ideas For Your 10/10 Work Party
#2 Go Solar
Working on a solar project is a great way to demonstrate the clean energy future right in your community. Whether its installing a solar panel on a local school, building a solar cooker for your community, or putting a solar hot water heater on your house--it is a great way to work with the planet, not against it.
Get involved today to find or organize an event in your area.
A Siegel had a good discussion today about the cost of solar coming down dramatically over recent years.
Writ large, solar prices have been dropping by 10 percent per year since 1972. What was $5 per kilowatt produced during the Carter Administration is in the range of 1/25th that price now
The time for inaction and/or foot-dragging is over.
If we take action - all of us - we might still have a chance to minimize the damage wrought by our species superlative intransigence on the issue of ruining our planet.
Do something today!
For a better world. For the world's children.
And for yourself.
