We just got the news that Bill and the road trip team will be going to meet with White House staff tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM! They’ll be going over the Eisenhower Executive Office Building which is part of the White House complex (you can see it on a map here) to send a clear message to the Administration: it’s time to put solar on your roof and start leading the clean energy revolution.
The big question is: what will the White House say tomorrow? Will they take the chance to accept our panel and commit to put solar back on the roof? Will President Obama join President Nasheed of the Maldives in committing to hammer in some solar panels on 10/10/10 as part of the Global Work Party?
Either way, it’s clear that the real leadership will remain with us: the people. We’ve been pretty proud of our little band of solar road trippers this week who’ve made this journey down the East Coast. But it’s been just as heartening to see all of the emails, comments, and calls of support from across the country and around the world. Since we began the trip, dozens of new 10/10/10 work parties have been signed all across the globe.
Tomorrow’s meeting is possible only because of your support. Let’s keep up on the momentum. With your help we can put solar not just on it … but on everything.
