This is the inevitable result when legislators give the administration of the incentive program to the monopoly.

The Florida Legislature over the past 8 years has been very much like a hungry sleeping alligator: Long stretches of doing nothing with occasional bursts of great harm. An example of this is a overlooked but important action found inside SB 1044, a piece of legislation put forth by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS). Part of what the bill does is remove from statute the existing rebate program that hasn't been funded since 2009. As many of you remember, the legislature failed to fund the rebate program and left consumers holding the bag with $50 million worth of owed rebates. Using federal dollars they eventually paid down $0.50 cents on the dollar, with no additional funds on the horizon. Now, with a billion dollar surplus, the state has made no effort to pay down the other $0.50 cents on the dollar owed and worse yet they are actually trying to remove from statute the only hope those system owners and consumers have of ever getting paid. A whole lotta nothing with occasional bursts of harm. If you would like to hear more about this or be involved on this issue, please sign up and tell us your story at www.netmeteringflorida.com |
