Today on Radioactivity we talk about a solar energy ballot initiative whose supporters run the political gamut. Over the last month, The Floridians of Solar Choice petition drive has garnered over 100,000 signatures to add an initiative onto the 2016 ballot that would allow Florida businesses and residents to sell solar power to a third party.Conservatives for Energy Freedom’s Tory Perfetti and Susan Glickman of Southern Alliance for Clean Energy join us to talk about their work for the initiative and how both the left and right can get behind expanding solar energy in Florida. The Floridians Solar Choice coalition includes a variety of political affiliates ranging from environmental, religious, liberal and conservative organizations.
