A Road Not Taken: The Story of US President Jimmy Carter’s Solar Panels
Arguably what should be called The First Green Deal, US President Jimmy Carter put solar panels on The White House and pushed major efforts for clean energy. GOP Ronald Reagan removed the panels and shut down Carter’s visionary efforts. It’s time to reflect on the Carter Administration and what got lost these last forty years. This is a Swiss made film by Christina Heamauer and Roman Keller, nearly impossible to find in The United States. Admission is free. Marin Television, 819 A Street, San Rafael, CA

Out of nearly 500 submissions to the 2025 World Forum for Democracy, our California Carter Initiative was invited to be presented this year in Strasbourg, France. With full sponsorship by The European Council, Founder Barbara McVeigh will travel to the Forum to present the California Carter grassroots initiative, as artists, musicians, teachers and journalists, to remember the legacy of US President Jimmy Carter and celebrate his approach to peace, diplomacy, housing, health, mental health and education, as well as his stand for the Palestinian people.
