Renewable energy: Legislature needs to step up

In this mention

Thomas C. Larson, Florida Energy Policy Manager at the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, writes an op-ed supporting Florida's Renewable Portfolio Standard and urging the legislature to adopt it. Larson argues that renewable energy is the lowest-cost long-term alternative and emphasizes the need for utilities to become energy service providers rather than just power sellers. He cites the Navigant study showing Florida has sufficient biomass and solar resources to meet the governor's renewable energy goals by 2020.
