| Feed- in –tariff—The Latest Energy Trend

|
|

|
| |
Orlando, Fla.-- Since Gainesville’s adoption of the country’s first solar photovoltaic feed in tariff, based on the highly successful models in Europe, many other states have followed suit. A trend is developing in which utilities are no longer waiting for a federal or state regulation but instead taking the initiative upon themselves to diversify energy to include clean renewables.

Orlando — Florida's legislators, confronted by record high unemployment rates and shrinking budgets, are eager to take on the task of creating jobs as they convene this election-year session.

| Governor Crist’s Surprise Visit to Orlando to Discuss Future of Florida’s Energy
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Orlando--Twenty-nine states now have renewable energy portfolio standards (RPS); however Florida isn’t one of them. Last year Governor Charlie Crist pushed for RPS, and came close when the Public Service Commission (PSC) presented a draft proposal endorsed by the senate but failed to receive enough support from the house to become law. Despite Crist’s campaigning efforts for a Florida Senate seat, RPS continues to be one of the governor’s top priorities.
