VICTORY!

YOU DIDN’T LET FPL AND THE BILLIONAIRES STEAL THE SUN!

In November 2016 Floridians defeated FPL’s fake solar amendment!

You weren’t fooled! Amendment 1 would’ve continued to move customer-owned solar out of reach for many of Florida’s families and businesses and have dragged state solar policy backwards.

Here’s what you saw on the ballot:

Rights of Electricity Consumers Regarding Solar Energy Choice

This amendment establishes a right under Florida’s constitution for consumers to own or lease solar equipment installed on their property to generate electricity for their own use.

We called you to action, and you stepped up!

It is not over. FPL will be back with new tactics to kill solar.
So we are taking action to follow through on what Floridians started.

We must push our state legislators to implement Amendment 4, which will

We must support Commissioner Daniella Levine Cava’s resolution asking the state legislature to pass a law allowing county governments to use the power they generate on public facilities, to offset energy consumption costs.

This means less tax dollars going to line the pockets of FPL and more going into the programs that count.

Want to help demand that the Florida Legislature pass laws that will allow us to truly harness the energy of the sun?
