RENEWABLE ENERGY BUSINESS SECTOR RESPONDS TO RICK SCOTT ATTACK
By FARE Staff
A group of businessmen, farmers and renewable energy advocates who met today to support Alex Sink for Governor, were abruptly met with an attack from the Rick Scott campaign.
According to Mike Antheil, Executive Director of the Florida Alliance for Renewable Energy (FARE):
It is sad that Rick Scott will not publicly or even in writing say anything at all about encouraging a renewable energy industry in Florida as Alex Sink has done. We are not left-leaning, we are business people, many of whom are Republicans. Instead of dispatching his attack dogs whose only solution is to attack Alex Sink on issues that have nothing to do with renewable energy, we suggest Rick Scott stand up in public and allow the business community of the renewable energy industry to ask him what he intends to do to create jobs and manufacturing in our business sector. As Floridians, we should demand to know how much is Rick Scott willing to tax every ratepayer for the development of nuclear power. The bottom line is that at a fraction of the cost of nuclear development, widespread renewable energy through disrtubuted generation will create tens of thousands of jobs and attract billions of dollars to our state, in addition to long term growth and manufacturing. Nuclear reactors create electricity, they do not create jobs or manufacturing.
Rick Scott's off the cuff remarks will hit home with the farm to fuel and biomass industry, who among other interests at todays event were called "leftist" by the Scott campaign. Today it become clear as ever that Rick Scott does not know what he is talking about, or in this case "attacking about", which is why the renewable enegry industry business folks are endorsing Alex Sink. We have studied both campaigns, and besides todays attack Rick Scott has been notably silent on the renewable energy platform. Rick Scott needs to say something of substance or stop attacking small business people.
