We're Going Green If It Kills Us

Solar power sure is expensive, as Florida residents are finding out the hard way. In fact, utility costs have already been jacked up 16% as Florida Power & Light invests more in solar power. And that promises to be just the start of even more alarming rate increases.

And, oh yes; what the utility company is doing is illegal.

"FPL's ongoing solar investment appears to violate a state law requiring utilities to provide power from the least-expensive available source."

But then this is what happens when the global warming/green movement gets in high gear, guys. Existing laws aren't going to stand in its way. No more than did hard science, common sense, or genuine consumer interests.

So, the last one out turns out the solar-powered lights. I'm going to find a cool cave to live in.
