The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a tragedy of unprecedented proportions, and as a result the emphasis and collective desire to transition Florida towards establishing clean and renewable energy policies has never been stronger. For the first time in decades of the State’s history, there is tangible political will to establish a strong renewable energy policy. It is the direct objective of FARE to capitalize on this political will and bring home a comprehensive energy policy that will benefit all stakeholders and thrust Florida on to the national stage as a leader in clean and renewable energy production. For two years in a row, the need for a comprehensive clean energy policy has been a priority for Floridians, but not for the Legislature, who has introduced and then failed to pass dozens of clean and renewable energy bills each year.  During the 2011 session , however, all bets are off and things will be different, the need for establishing a comprehensive clean energy policy is no longer an option for legislators. It is for this reason, that now, in the months leading up to the 2011 session, it is so important to invest in putting policies in place. The policy to be established during the next legislative session will be a direct result of the input and involvement of industry stakeholders. If your company plans to do business and be part of the marketplace in Florida, it is critical that you invest today.
