Florida- Innovation Hub of the Americas: An Oxymoron

I just received the Cleantech Market Brief on Florida's green economy and the title is aptly appropriate - BRIEF. I skimmed over the column on Solar and read the only positive statements on solar in Florida today are limited to "Florida utilities (i.e. FP&L) are leader in the deployment of utility-scale PV systems." No mention of any momentum on commercial or residential incentives. These two sectors don't exist in the lexicology of the sunshine state. It is embarrassing that Cleantech should publish such a brief, when in fact Florida IS NOT the innovation hub of the Americas. Today, Florida ranks right up next to Alaska in incentivizing solar.
