This announcement came as a triumph to many in the climate movement, who earlier in the year had written letters, sent in petitions and, along with our very own Bill Mckibben, embarked on a Solar Road Trip across the U.S. to convince the Obama administration to re-install the solar panels that were on the White House's roof during Jimmy Carter's presidency. The White House initially declined the offer, much to everyone's disappointment, so Obama's statement a month later was a welcome surprise that meant we had one less world leader to convince to Put Solar On It.Over a year has passed since Obama's promise, and as of yet there are no solar panels on the white house.&nbsp; However, according to this article in the Green Prophet, HH Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan - the crown prince of the oil-rich gulf state of Abu Dhabi - has beaten Obama to the punch and installed a solar array in record-time on the roof of his court. Not only are these photovoltaics fully operational, but the electricity they produce also feed into Abu Dhabi's national grid.If oil-rich Abu Dhabi can symbolically commit to renewable energy, one is left to wonder why the White House cannot follow through with its promise?&nbsp;&nbsp;","thumbnail_url":"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4145\/4974690648_ff91a82d3d.jpg"}
