Hmm, well, subsidies dried up, the economy went into the crapper, and demand dried up. Such is life. In time, I'm sure they'll be back.
I still can't figure McCollum's demagoguery on energy? I'm guessing he's owned by big oil.Last week Republican Bill McCollum unveiled his plan, which calls for letting the free market sort out "expensive" wind and solar energy sources, partnering with private business to develop electric plug-in vehicles and removing regulatory barriers to expedite biofuel production.
I don't have a problem with him wanting to let the free market decide - as long as he gets rid of every single subsidy and tax break for oil/natural gas and large vehicles.
Methinks that "playing field" would level out pretty damn fast once ALL of those disappear. ;-)
Glenda - just re-read this:

. Certainly, swayed by their influence.The candidate web sites are finally starting to fill out. Still feels a little boiler plate but if you dig down you get into some interesting position papers.
I like Sink's government accountability positions. I also like McCollum's business growth ideas. Not much to like about Scott yet, his site is 100% boilerplate.
Bill McCollum for Governor
Alex Sink for Governor of Florida
Rick Scott for Governor
None seem to mention our mounting federal medicaid loans or the growing liability at Citizens. Kinda frustrating.
(..and if hear one more politician mention "green collar jobs" I'm going to hurl!)
I'm for Sink. No doubt.
