President to use executive action to advance solar power and energy efficiency in move that will be the "equivalent of taking about 80 million cars off the road for a year."

President Obama is expected to announce a series of executive actions and agreements on Friday morning that will advance solar power and energy efficiency in the United States, part of his pledge to tackle climate change without having to go through a gridlocked Congress. 

According to a statement from the White House, the initiatives will represent an 850-megawatt increase in solar power deployed, or enough to power 130,000 homes. They will also lead to more $2 billion in energy efficiency investments in Federal buildings, $26 billion in savings for businesses on energy bills, and a 380 million metric ton decrease in carbon pollution — the equivalent of taking about 80 million cars off the road for a year, the statement said.

You see while the Republicans are spending all of their time, and our tax dollars, attacking this man on a never ending basis, HE is doing what he can every day to make our lives, and the health of our planet, better. 

In fact, along those lines, the President is also having those solar panels that Ronald Reagan had removed put back onto the roof of the White House:  

Technicians have finished installing solar panels on the White House roof, capping a project that President Barack Obama hopes will send a signal that renewable energy is feasible and environmentally shrewd.

You may remember that President Carter originally put the solar panels up in the 70's. However that oil company whore Ronald Reagan had them removed when he started his disastrous presidency.

Imagine if he had continued to promote renewable energy policies, and how much better off the country, and even the world, would be today.

What am I saying? Ronald Reagan could never have had that kind of foresight.
