If you voted for Rick Scott this year please contact me I have a bridge I would like to see to you! Rick Scott alone wants to force you out of this state, this is one of 3 things he will do to insure you cant afford to live in Florida! The only person he is going to help is himself! Most of those states also have active energy-efficiency programs in place. Not surprisingly, those with the best RPS also have the best energy-efficiency programs. But not Florida. Not only does the Sunshine State not have an RPS and not permit leasing and power purchase agreements, its Public Service Commission also just voted 3-to-2 to let Floridas solar rebate expire at the end of 2015 and cut the energy efficiency goals of the state’s utility companies by more than 90 percent, a move that was based off of proposals from Duke Energy Florida, Tampa Electric, and Florida Power & Light. Heres Katie Valentine at Climate Progress: And environmentalists and renewable energy advocates in Florida also aren’t happy about the PSC’s vote. The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, a group that’s pushed for more solar-friendly policies in Florida, said in a statement that the PSC’s vote represents an “abdication of its responsibility as stewards for energy consumers.” “Instead of siding with customers, the PSC sided with monopoly utility shareholders, once again, by setting meager goals that promote the construction of new power plants — which earn the companies a hefty profit, while leaving fewer opportunities for customers to lower energy use and save money on bills,” SACE said in the statement. “The line between the PSC and the monopoly utilities they are charged with regulating has become increasingly blurred.” dailykos/story/2014/12/01/1348632/-If-only-the-Sunshine-state-s-rulings-on-solar-and-energy-efficiency-could-be-chalked-up-to-ignorance?detail=facebook
