Episode 148: Solar Power in Florida

We discuss Florida's water quality problems in almost every episode of the show. Here's a new one: lead pipes.Did you know Florida receives only 5% of its electricity from solar power? Not good for the Sunshine State. That's why we receive an "F" from the Center for Biological Diversity when it comes to solar generation.Our guest this episode is James Fenton, Director of the University of Central Florida’s Florida Solar Energy Center.  James will tell us about the history of solar power in Florida, where efforts stand today, and how you can pursue solar energy for your house with Solar United Neighbors.Don't forget to support "Welcome to Florida" through our Patreon page if you're able to. We're close to our 20 patron threshold at which point Craig and I will release a special bonus episode to our supporters through Patreon. Visit patreon.com/WelcometoFlorida.
