Florida's Solar Amendments

Floridians for Solar Choice
(backed by solar power companies and the League of Women Voters) want out of state solar power companies to be able to sell solar power to homeowners and businesses in Florida because the state’s existing utilities are not doing enough to promote that form of energy. here

Consumers for Smart Solar 
are pushing an amendment that would in effect continue to allow only utilities regulated in Florida to provide solar power, and without competition from outside companies. 

Consumers for Smart Solar have relied almost entirely on existing public utilities in Florida for financial support. FPL, Duke, Gulf Power and Tampa Electric have all given at least $160,000 each to the campaign. Also A group calling itself “Let’s Preserve the American Dream” a group that has never given campaign donations before in Florida and will not disclose who its supporters are gave $200,000 to the utility-backed Consumers for Smart Solar. here
