Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the White House.
Ronald Reagan took them off because he thought they were ugly.
There followed 26 years of retro thinking about energy.
Erik Reece read tonight at the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning. That was one of the things he told us.
He also told us that more people go to zoos than go to all major sporting events. People love their fellow creatures. Alas, not enough to keep from destroying their environment.
Meanwhile the new Paris Super Wal-Mart has put up its huge security lights and now Paris is a glow on the northern horizon as I drive from Lexington. And to run those lights, they blast to tops off Appalachian mountains with the same mixture that Timothy McVey used to blow up the Murrah building.
I am as guilty as the next person of letting lights burn unnecessarily. Mountains are dying for my sins.
If you want to get a look at some mountaintop removal, try this Google satellite view of Hazard, Kentucky.
