Enviros cry foul at Florida utility's solar program plans

Enviros cry foul at Florida utility's solar program plans « Watchdog.org:
"TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Environmental activists are battling a solar energy plan that won’t charge nonparticipating customers higher rates.
Florida Power and Light, the state’s largest electric utility, is proposing a pilot program it says will expand the use of solar power in the Sunshine State while offering customers a choice.
“For customers who care deeply about advancing clean energy — including those who may not have the ability or desire to install their own solar systems — we are proposing to create a voluntary, community-based partnership that is designed to help grow solar in Florida without costing a penny for those who choose not to participate.” said Eric Silagy, president of FPL in a statement."
