- I have e-mailed the Governor of Florida, Mr. Charlie Crist, and asked him to consider a law that requires all new homes in the State of Florida to be built with solar panels
There is no reason why a State known as "The Sunshine State" does not to take advantage of it's natural resource, sunshine.
I will update you if I get any type of response
