As for subsidies, the state of Florida gives no subsidies that I know of to folks that install solar panels.

If anything, installation of privately owned panels takes pressure off the grid at peak times, during the day when energy is needed to run air conditioners, etc.
Perhaps I misunderstood, but didn't Amendment 4 voted on in August and approved provide for solar subsidies and sell backs?

The big energy vote is coming in 2018. My concern is the long term game plan being played by both utilities and environmentalists and others.

As I analyze Amendment 1 my thoughts go beyond what the proposal states for the vote in November. I wonder what long term percussions may result for either a yes or no vote. What exactly does it mean? Does a vote either way place consumers in a Catch 22 down the road? There has always been caution when it comes to government but since 2008 it seems government by both parties have breached voters trust time and time again. So I do not trust any politician, policy proposal, etc and I do not trust the media. Its time voters did their due diligence and careful consider every proposal. I mean we learned the devastating and costly consequences of what "you have to pass it to know what's in it" We need to move like a hegefox expanding our search to determine the single purpose for these amendments

Personal Best Regards:
