The only reason for this that I can see would be the anti-oil industry image created by the existence of the solar panels on top of the White House did not fit into Ronald Reagan and George Bush’s agenda‚ especially because George Bush is an oil baron. This is proof of resistance to change from the highest level of the United States government. I live close to a closed down oil refinery that was operated by Amoco in Sugar Creek‚ Missouri.

years. Reagan ’s victory marked the beginning of the "Reagan Revolution." George Bush and Ronald Reagan went head to head for the Republican spot.

Ford’s successor to the Oval Office‚ Democrat Jimmy Carter‚ had a rather unsuccessful presidency as he only won one term. While both political parties controlled the presidency during the 1970s‚ political scholars view this era of presidents as
