The Inauguration

“We will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories.”
President Barack Obama
Inaugural Address
January 20, 2009

I was on the National Mall today with my family and 2 million other well-wishers to celebrate a new era of hope and anticipation for the country. President Obama shared some of the challenges facing our country, and spoke eloquently about how we will redouble our efforts to harness the magnificent power of the sun. We just established SolarTown, which is our effort to promote this effort and to establish a community of like-minded people who are looking for ways to apply solar energy to meet our energy needs.
