Florida's Path to Clean Energy

Sarasota Democratic Party's Position:

"Drilling for oil off Florida’s coasts is a bad idea on so many levels it’s hard to believe we even need to spend time and energy fighting it. But big oil has friends in high places and even more unlikely co-conspirators like members of the state’s solar energy industry. So what do we do? Stand by and let the bulldozer run us over?!? Heck NO!!! We fight back. How? With knowledge and strength in numbers! The oil lobby may have unlimited resources to buy votes and peddle influence, but we have PASSION, COMMITMENT and FLORIDA’S BEST INTEREST @ HEART.

Come hear Susan Glickman, a consultant to the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, give us the knowledge and power we need to defeat this travesty. We’ll learn there are ways to save money on electric bills by investing in conservation and renewable energy technologies rather than build new, more expensive power plants. We’ll learn what other opposition is planned, and how we can join the fight."
