Effort to 'green' U.S. Capitol complicated by coal - CNN.com:

"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's plan to make the U.S.
Capitol complex more environmentally friendly is being hampered by the
reluctance of lawmakers from coal-producing states to implement changes at the
complex's coal-burning power plant."

More often than not, making any building more environmentally friendly when discussing matters of energy, also saves money. Image how much money the Federal Government could save if it installed solar panels on the White House and the Capital Building. That in itself should be cause enough to look into making that investment. The fact that it could help clear the air, is a great bonus.
