While that’s technically correct, they could have put them back This is what Google says when asked about why the panels were removed: “President Ronald Reagan had the White House solar panels removed in 1986 as part of his administration's broader opposition to government involvement in renewable energy and a belief that the free market, not the government, should drive energy policy. While the administration cited cost as a reason for not reinstalling them during roof repairs, the decision reflected Reagan's philosophy and his administration's cuts to renewable energy funding” Not sure about the sources though. So I guess it’s debatable Still interesting to realize that the US govt can zigzag so much, and that it’s not necessarily progressing in a specific direction
