The tea party is pushing for solar power in Florida - The Washington Post

A tea party leader and a conservative state lawmaker are behind a petition to make solar panels more profitable in Florida, reports Ivan Penn of the Tampa Bay Times. The group is collecting signatures to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot that would allow residents to sell electricity generated from the sun directly to their neighbors, tenants and friends, instead of giving the utilities a cut.

For conservatives, solar power is a chance to put an end to state-regulated monopolies in electricity and create an opportunity for investment for every homeowner.

I'm amazed they are going against their beloved Tea Party lover Rick Scott.. I'm sure Duke & Scott will squash it, but who knows I'll be signing it..
