Customers to be Paid 32 Cents Per kWh If, as expected, the Florida Public Service commission approves it, GRU customers will be able to sign up for the program from March 1. If they sign up within the first two years they will receive a price guarantee.

This REALLY is great news. This is how we end big Oil, create more solar, and Other REAL renewables, instead of always reacting to them. Create, Create, Create. thx Eric for bringing this to LIGHT.

A solar panel on every house and roof I say!( and electric cars)

Goooooo Gators! :D
Finally, a city which has taken the bold move to end dependence on fossil fuels! Lots of clever folks at UF and the surrounding area. It makes sense to use Solar Energy in Fla; the state is 3rd. in the nation for sunlight hours.
Gainesville, take a bow, you're actions are an inspiration to all!
Eric, ^^^5s^^^ for posting this news!
