    I cast my vote for solar energy. As a solar contractor myself, I see the industry as a way to create jobs here in the USA and to lessen our dependence on foreign energy. Let's keep it front and center at the National Mall and in the minds of the decision makers of this country.

    I've attended the event and even though I'm a solar professional, there was a lot of new technology to see...

    I am beginning to doubt government commitment to renewable power, organic agriculture and sustainable practices in general. "Business as usual.", is it, folks? More fools you...and more fools we are for electing you.

    Energy independence means freedom for all. That is what we should be celebrating on the National Mall. I support the students in vying for the best possible exposure for the ideas that can bring lasting peace to the next generation.

    I fully support every endaevor to advance the use of solar and other alternative sources of power over the uise of fossil fuels which only continue to contaminate the atmosphere and create global warming, that if not soon brought into check, which will bring drastic and devastating changes that will only then be reversable by the demise of the human race.

    One hour of sunlight radiating onto the surface area of the great lakes in the U.S. produces more energy than humankind has used in all of recorded history! The sun's fusion reactor cost the Earth nothing to build! NO COST. It is safely located 93 million miles from Earth, again it is a Fusion Reactor, no disposal costs for radioactive waste! Wait a minute, i forgot if you can't meter it deem it NOT FEASIBLE for the masses. Solar Energy provides life, and yet we can't seem to break the oil and pollution cycles, to power our economy and keep the money in the U.S. HELP educate our young people to this great tried and proven energy source.

    Let's have some backbone, folks, and stop listening to the naysayers of the RebuliCONs. We are building innovation here that will put us in the forefront of technological leadership when our kids will truly be the beneficiary.

    I want to shout WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP! But it is very difficult to wake a person pretending to be asleep. Stand up and be the leader you had hoped to be.

    Why revoke the permit...unless to indicate that solar energy is not worth pursuing?

    Beyond the well chosen words above is the public stance your administration has taken to make Americas' buildings more energy efficient. Most recently spoken were words to the effect of "incentives and tax breaks". This is an opportunity to give the next American generation their break to materialize the words you have spoken to them. Trampled grass will regrow. Trampled hopes may not.

    Now is the time for bold leadership. Every President since Richard Nixon has stressed the importance of reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Until recently, little has been done to make that remotely possible. This is the right thing to do for this country on so many levels, economically, ecologically, and from both an educational and a political standpoint. The downside to this event is practically non-existent. The benefits of this investment in the future will pay off for years to come. And not just nationally, but globally. Let them build on the Mall!

    These are site specific buildings that took a substantial amount of time to design, keep the mall open for this important event. Don?t change it half way through the process. KEEP THE MALL OPEN
