Amendment 1 is primarily bankrolled by Florida’s big power companies and promoted by a group calling itself Consumers for Smart Solar. While the title, “Rights of Electricity Consumers Regarding Solar Energy Choice” sounds like a great thing for solar in Florida, let’s be clear: Amendment 1 will not promote solar, it will block the sun.
“Let pro-solar energy consumers beware” warned Supreme Court Justice Barbara Pariente about Amendment 1 back in March. She said the amendment is “masquerading” as a pro-solar energy initiative and labeled it a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.”
Here’s three reasons to be wary of Amendment 1:
Amendment 1 is funded by Florida’s big utilities to protect their monopoly markets and limit customer-owned solar.
Amendment 1 paves the way for barriers that would penalize solar customers.
Amendment 1 misleads Florida voters by promising rights and protections that Florida citizens already have. BTW, I have spoken with a SECO representative and they do not support this Amendment -- perhaps this is because SECO is an energy co-operative and not a large for-profit power company. PLEASE VOTE NO!!!

would have fooled me,

thanks

Those B@stards!!!!!

i am voting no because i think it wants to give solar customers tax breaks for using solar and that means the rest of us will be subsidizing them...if you want solar and can afford it, great. most of us can't yet. i may be wrong about this....if so please educate me.
