Voters could soon decide the future of solar power in Florida. Amendment 1 will come before Florida voters on the Nov. 8 ballot, and it promises to protect "the rights of electricity consumers regarding solar energy choice" by amending the state constitution.
Voters are being asked to decide "yes" or "no" on the issue, but what does a vote for or against Amendment 1 actually mean? We’ll hear from both proponents and opponents of the initiative, discuss how it will shape the future of solar power in the sunshine state, and what it could mean for consumers' electric bills.
Guests:
- Reed Wilson, President of Florida Solar Industries Association with the "No on 1" Campaign and owner of solar contractor FL Green Team.
- Screven Watson, lawyer and board member of Consumers for Smart Solar "Yes on 1" Campaign
- FGCU political science professor Dr. Peter Bergerson
