Orange County, Florida (home of Orlando), is inviting cleantech investments, in engineering, manufacturing and development of innovators by entrepreneurs and at our centers of higher education. This is the Sunshine State: Power generation from local biomass, collection of sun energy from solar systems distributed on thousands of rooftops, plus energy efficiency development at large scale, will employ thousands of people and bring short-term & long-term benefits to Florida and its economy.Last week, Orange County Mayor Richart T. Crotty sent to Florida House Representative Dean Cannon, next year’s speaker designate, a call for leadership to set a Renewable Portfolio Standard for the state.
