renewable rapid deployment

My name is Roy Ratner, and I represent Atlas Solar Innovations and the Florida Alliance for Renewable Energy - (FARE).
Atlas Solar Innovations is a subsidiary of All Atlas Roofing of South Florida. We are distributors, designers and installers of Photovoltaic (PV), Domestic Hot Water (DHW), and Solar pool heating Systems for both residential and commercial properties. We cofounded the Florida Alliance for Renewable Energy - (FARE) for the promotion of renewable energy policies that will permit every individual, business and organization in the state of Florida the opportunity to become independent producers and sellers of all forms of renewable energy. We are very committed to be a part of this movement toward a healthy environment, future energy independence, and economic prosperity for the state of Florida.
Our Association endorses and promotes the adoption of the renewable energy policy that is proven to be the most successful and efficient renewable energy policy in the world. This policy mechanism is responsible for 50% of the world's renewable energy deployment in the past few years. Currently 45 countries worldwide utilize this simple, transparent policy. By adopting this policy, Floridians will be able to deliver renewable energy more rapidly and for less cost by including the participation of everyone; homeowners, business owners, churches, schools, farmers and others. Currently Hawaii, Oregon, California, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Rhode Island and the city of Gainesville Florida are in the process of adopting this policy mechanism.
Germany, the first European country to implement this policy, is a great example of this renewable energy deployment success.
As a direct result of this policy, renewable energy accounts for 14% of Germany's energy supply as of 2007.They are targeting 27% by 2020, and 45% by 2030. They have 70,000 employed in the wind industry, 50,000 employed in the PV industry, 8,000 employed in the biogas industry. With a total of 250,000 people employed in the renewable energy industry. Germany’s policy success produces a $30 billion turnover and a net benefit of $9 billion annually. This simple policy levels the playing field for all producers and sellers of renewable energy.
It is imperative that we participate in the environmental and economic gift that renewable energy gives us.
We have the opportunity to create a widespread home-grown industry, the chance to spare the environment further damage, create thousands of local jobs, collect millions in local revenue, and establish Floridian generated energy independence.

Do not let Florida miss this renewable energy boom, bring it home, and bring it to Florida
At The Florida Alliance for Renewable Energy we firmly endorse the policy of Renewable Energy Payments (REP’s) also known as Feed- in Tariffs (FIT’s) to be the single most effective way to achieve widespread rapid deployment of renewable energy in Florida.
Please join us and help others to understand the necessity of this policy adoption for the future of state of Florida @ www.farenergy.org.
