If there is something about the environment that I haven’t covered and you want to hear my input on it (AKA you want me to find out the information about it and then compress it), here is the place.
Stay Green Orlando.

Could you clarify what you mean by alternatives? Do you mean non-fossil fuel/non-enriched uranium generated energy? i.e renewables and energy efficency programs. Who are these utilities outside of Orlando that are providing “alternative” and what are the details of these programs; cost, etc.?
I might be able to offer suggestions on how to pressure Progress (did you know they have a Sustainable Advisory Council in NC, made-up of local environmental stakeholders) What they advise may not be binding, but it’s a start. At the state level, I believe Crist’s is committed to some form of Renewable Portfolio Standard that would force utilites to obtain a % of the energy from renewable energy (though details in this type of legistlation in paramount). If I have a better understanding of what you are looking for, I could help plug you in to the right places.
First things first, thank you for visiting the blog. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find the person writing this blog. I would love to just just have any option that doesn’t emit as many GHGs and CO2 into the air. Options like hydropower from rivers and wind energy that Progress energy could purchase from wind farms or build themselves.
As far as companies that provide alternative energy, In Gainesville, the electric company is called Gainesville Regional Utilities. The one in Tallahassee is called Florida Energy Office. They offer rebates to anyone practicing energy efficient ways
My whole goal is be able to provide people in Orlando with sources of energy that aren’t killing the environment.
