This bill signed into law last month by Gov. Charlie Christ will doom any chance that the Everglades will be cleaned up. What it will do is give land developers an opportunity to pave and develop this vital waterway. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO OVERTURN THIS ILLEGAL BILL?

SEcond, the largest source of renewable energy is the ocean and the elevation of the tides! Look at the Bay of FUNday! review the proposal from the scottish government for the SALTINE prize!!!

“I’m seeing it with my own eyes ? it’s really having a good effect on our local economy, particularly in these hard times,” said Edward J. Regan, the assistant general manager for strategic planning at Gainesville Regional Utilities in Florida. And Other countries–particularly Germany, Spain and Denmark–have successfully used FITs to encourage the development of renewable energy projects.

I guess this plan will help increase the value of the house considerably, and get the reeling building industry and overall economy back on its feet as well.

Additional investments in this sector would not only stimulate the recovery of the construction and allied industries but also generate tens of thousands of jobs.

Thank you !
