Solar Energy Investing

The Orlando Sentinel reports that the state of Florida has launched an initiative to help encourage Florida residents to use alternative energy sources including solar panels. Earlier this year, the state set aside $2.5 million to help pay for the installation of solar panels for Florida residents.

However, some critics are saying that this is not enough, and that the state’s funding commitments to solar energy has not changed since 1989. They point to California, which has committed $3 billion over the next ten years with the goal of converting 1 million homes and businesses to solar power.
