New Florida bill ‘basically erases’ state’s only pro-solar energy policy

Republican-led Senate passes bill that could hamper growth of solar energy by removing popular financial incentive

In one of America's sunniest states, a Republican-led Senate recently passed a bill that could hamper the growth of solar energy by removing a popular financial incentive among consumers.

Environmentalists are decrying the measure, arguing that the expansion of rooftop solar is a necessary step in the fight against the climate crisis. The bill was passed in Florida, as another extremely sunny state, California, considered a similar update to its solar policies.
