Is Florida “FIT” for Solar?
Like many, you may feel that solar energy remains a distant dream, and that it’s:
Feed In Tariffs (FIT) could change all of that…
“Sanibel, Captiva and Fort Myers Beach Sand Removal
to Provide Clean Energy to West Virginia!”
How would you like it if the beaches of Florida were dug up to provide energy for West Virginia?
Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?
If you’re looking for a great read that discusses creating a sustainable future…
…I highly recommend reading Hot, Flat and Crowded by Thomas Friedman. You know may his other work, The World is Flat.
Here’s a description from Amazon:
“Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world’s middle class through globalization have produced a planet that is “hot, flat, and crowded.” Already the earth is being affected in ways that threaten to make it dangerously unstable. In just a few years, it will be too late to fix things–unless the United States steps up now and takes the lead in a worldwide effort to replace our wasteful, inefficient energy practices with a strategy for clean energy, energy efficiency, and conservation that Friedman calls Code Green.”
Let me know what you think!

I used to say solar energy was not good for moving things.
It was good for heating water or making electricity, but not for transportation.
But with this…
… and checking out www.calcars.org to learn about electric vehicles (EVs), I’ve done a complete 180!
If you want to learn more, I highly recommend you check out:
After 30 years of being in the solar industry, I was so wrong about what I thought solar energy could do.
Kinda humbling.
So, if I could have a wrong perception about solar energy after 30 years, I guess I could understand that YOU too could have a misconception about solar energy.
I think there’s a lot of people that don’t fully understand solar energy:
But there’s a huge belief that solar energy is a good thing… a VERY good thing, in fact.
