What I can't figure is why the "sunshine state" doesn't have decent solar subsidies.

And I'm not sure wind is a good solution for FL... there are a lot of times when the air just does not move at all. Especially mid summer during peak energy usage.


Yes - CA, AZ, NV, TX, NM etc

As for wind consistency - sometimes it blows a little too hard there as well. Can't have your utilities destroyed yearly - perhaps the same reason for Solar's lack in FL.

Having an expensive $30K system on your roof to get blown off each year would be really hard to insure and be rather dangerous. Probably doesn't help the install costs either.

Too bad you can't store all that hurricane energy!
