"A marketplace of widespread, distributed production of renewable energy would create tens of thousands of jobs for Florida."

Key components to creating local jobs through renewable energy include:

• Free and open marketplace for the production of renewable energy.
• Guaranteed access to the energy grid for all producers of renewable energy.
• No limit on the amount of allowable production.
• Fixed rates paid to producers of renewable energy for a fixed period of time, typically 20 years.

With these features included an open and competitive marketplace can create a stable and competitive environment for local economic growth. Imagine if businesses, farms, homes, churches, schools, hospitals, communities and ranchers could all install solar, wind, biomass and other renewable energy on their rooftops or land and then produce energy and sell it to their neighbors, their tenants, or their local energy provider... it would completely transform our economic landscape. Floridians are owed the chance to participate in the renewable energy market with a level playing field. Be part of creating a fair and open market in Florida.
