News Date January 24, 2012
Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam outlined today his recommendations for the House Subcommittee on Energy and Utilities to consider for this session's energy package, which included tax incentives, direction for the Public Service Commission (PSC) and efforts to streamline processes on renewable energy businesses.
"The objective of Florida's energy policy should be to secure a stable, reliable and diverse supply of energy," said Commissioner Putnam. "We must create a climate that encourages new industry, encourages job creation and encourages the expansion of existing industries and existing technologies. My recommendations are designed to 1) increase diversity in Florida's energy portfolio, 2) advance renewable energy production, 3) encourage the development of home-grown technologies and 4) promote energy efficiency."
