notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This button promoted the U.S. Department of Energy’s Million Solar Roof initiative, a program that ran from 1997 to 2005. Directed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado, the program served as a model for state-level programs including the California Solar Initiative. For many people, the 1970s energy crisis was a call to action to change how electricity was generated and used. Making the choice to “go solar”—and encouraging others to do the same—reflected growing optimism about the potential of clean, accessible solar energy.
