Yeah, and he was followed by Reagan:
>By 1986, the Reagan administration had gutted the research and development budgets for renewable energy at the then-fledgling U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) and eliminated tax breaks for the deployment of wind turbines and solar technologies—recommitting the nation to reliance on cheap but polluting fossil fuels, often from foreign suppliers.

Carter puts solar panels on the White House in 1979. Reagan orders them to be removed when he comes into office in 1981 (they were eventually removed in 1986).
