The large size of houses of worship presents a shining opportunity: space for solar panels! By installing them, they can generate their own electricity. Instead of receiving power from the grid, they'll get it from the sun and can store power for later. ➡️ solarreviews.com/blog/solar-…

Here's a bit of sunshine to bring to your NYE conversations: 90% of Americans support expanding solar power. In fact, solar leads the renewable energy sources that have “Dolly Parton–level approval numbers that cut across parties and cohorts.” canarymedia.com/articles/cle…

Well it looks like @FPL_Newsroom has decided it wants to destroy customer owned #solar power in the #SunshineState. Never underestimate the arrogance of Monopoly decision making when unchecked both by captured regulators and “pay to play”politics. Arrogance has consequences.

Common misconceptions about residential, or rooftop, solar panels are that they're either prohibitively expensive or that there are programs offering them at no cost. Neither is fully accurate, but there are solar options for everyone. fortmyers.floridaweekly.com/…

Incentivizing homeowners to install smaller capacity rooftop solar panels with battery backup would provide some protection against blackouts after extreme weather events, while also helping meet the nation's carbon reduction goals. #SolarChoice thehill.com/opinion/energy-e…

"The new build-out will add 16 million solar panels across 50 sites, on top of the roughly 3 gigawatts of solar power FPL has already deployed. It’s part of a major expansion that’s pushed the state from 10th in the country for solar in 2016 to fourth place in 2021."
Last week the @floridapsc voted to approve FPL's proposal to build 3.5GW of solar over the next five years. As solar prices drop, "utilities have really been stepping up their investment in clean energy,” @GeorgeCavros, SACE attorney. Via @CanaryMediaInc canarymedia.com/articles/sol…

"Florida’s biggest industry is tourism. But one wonders, who is going to visit Disney or our world famous beaches when we have extreme heat and heavy rainfall. Other pillars of Florida’s economy like agriculture, real estate, and construction are also impacted by climate change."
As Walt Disney World celebrates its 50th anniversary, there is no doubt that the wonderful world of Disney has had, and continues to have, an enormous impact on Florida's economy and environment, writes Florida native, Susan Glickman (@FLcleanenergy). cleanenergy.org/blog/disney-…
