I’m shocked, shocked to hear that the solar feud in Florida is funded by investor owned utilities. I can’t believe that a group of utility execs would use their war chest to push propaganda around an intellectually dishonest debate. Personally, I find the whole constitutional amendment process in Florida a bit silly. Service agreements go a long way here and raising the issue on the solar front seems a bit ahead of its time. That being said, the utilities are trying to memorialize a kill shot to net metering in their process. When organizations like Grid Alternatives is trying to help bring veterans into solar, I can only imagine how many opportunities are being crushed by big utilities.
