REAGAN RIPPED THEM SOLAR PANELS ON DOWN!

I am rather tired of this falsehood: "The first thing that Reagan did when he got into the White House was rip down Jimmy Carter's solar panels because he wnated to send a positive message to the oil corporations."

I'm not a fan of Reagan's domestic policy. But... when people say that he "ripped them down" I picture a contorted look on his face as he climbed a ladder onto the White House roof himself, then unbolted the panels himself with his bare hands as he threw them onto the White House lawned and yelled, "FUCK THIS SHIT! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!"

This piece of information from from Jimmy Carter's presidential library contradicts that myth. Reagan didn't immediately "rip down" the panels. Apparently he or someone else simply decided that they didn't want to re-install them after the roof had routine maintenance during 1986-- very late in his presidency..

I'm so tired of the bullshit, folks.
