Stupid! White House’s Newly Installed Solar Panels Will Generate Power For A Total of Six Lightbulbs



White House’s Newly Installed Solar Panels Will Generate Power For A Total of Six Lightbulbs

A solar panel array now adorns the roof of the White House and will produce an elephantine amount of solar power when the sun is actually shining: 6.3 kilowatts.

If 6.3 kilowatts sounds like a lot of energy, it isn’t. The average home consumes 27 kilowatts of power each day. Far more than the 6.3 kilowatts that will be produced by the new solar panels adorning the White House. According to TradeWind Energy, “one 50-watt light bulb running for 20 hours will use one kilowatt-hour of electricity (50 watts x 20 hours = 1,000 watt-hours = 1 kWh).”

In other words, the White House installed enough solar panels to power six 50-watt bulbs for 20 hours each day.

I re-read the Father of Socialism / Communism Karl Heinrich Marx bio / Communist Manifesto and what occurred in 1850 is now going on here from 2009 - 2016! Please read this article and realize this is correct!

I wonder how many millions this cost the taxpayers? But then, Obama could care less on the cost; it's not his money.
