Shining sun where the sun does shine

Orlando, Fl expect eight percent of its power grid to be
supplied by solar panels.
Now we’ll discuss in greater detail on how Orlando, Florida is carrying out its part in turning climate change into water over the dam and the first thing we want to remember from the last blog is California’s “Buy Clean” law. And while the law was established to assure California a profitable assortment of building material straight from a source that’s just as clean as its condition was when it was supplied to them by their companies, a performance review of their inventory and supply chain never did any harm. It’s the neat freaks who act like they read every single word in the Paris agreement policy. (The New York Times, 08/31/2018, Making a Sunshine Statement: Thinking Carbon-Free in Florida B1-B3So there was a need for Climate Earth’s services. The little things that come in 100's in our big world are endless and yet the notion of 100 percent carbon-free may not actually mean 100 percent zero emissions. If you want to be carbon-free, you most certainly welcomed to, but only through borrowing credits accumulated by other carbon-free power plants. Los Angeles has proposed to have the surviving coal-plants sold to natural gas producers that produces half the carbon regular power sectors produce. If consumers are willing to pay out their pockets for a coal-plant's bankruptcy and the new equipment to add to the transformation, then yeah (The New York Times, 08/31/2018, Making a Sunshine Statement: Thinking Carbon-Free in Florida B1-B3). Orlando's petroleum and diesel mix comes from the Curtis H. Stanton Energy Center, where diesel fuel is stored in two power supplies. Orlando also has its own little natural gas station at a vehicle maintenance shop that supplies its fleet of trucks -- nothing much of use to garbage trucks with their hybrid engines and less for the city-owned police department with their electric motorcycles. The connection, aside from the fact that you’ve never heard of any outsourcing done in either California or Florida, is that both are working to reaffirm the goals of the Paris climate accord since Trump declared a withdraw, only Florida is spinning gold out of something much different (The New York Times, 08/31/2018, Making a Sunshine Statement: Thinking Carbon-Free in Florida B1-B3). 
It's something of a mantra to Florida's reputation as the "sunshine state." A vindication of Orlando’s greenhouse aspirations are hidden in a majority of its ponds that were dug in Central Florida to collect its runoffs from various rainfalls. From these ponds, rise floating solar panels to collect solar energy for Orlando's power grid. Plenty more of them can be found in the immediate vicinity of Orlando where they are directly empowered by municipal utility districts (The New York Times, 08/31/2018, Making a Sunshine Statement: Thinking Carbon-Free in Florida B1-B3). These so-called municipal utility districts generate 20 megawatts of community solar energy. That's enough energy, plenty in fact, to power 3,200 houses. In the year 2017, EIA traced half the nation's energy consumption to transportation and the industrial sector while one-third of the nation's energy consumption was traced to the electric power industry. You'll need to remember that for a possibility such as that, electric companies will look for any surcharge such as a night light left on to add to their premium and Barack Obama's Clean Power Plan would've caused electric prices to skyrocket in 40 states. A drawback like that can only be topped with net metering as an incentive for consumers to purchase solar energy and donate an additional 10 megawatts from equipment on their rooftops with discount installation and an inclusive, but very expensive, offer of batteries to add to the experience. You can easily make a job like that worth a cooperative person's while with a good piece of change or even three paydays, but greenhouse energy is a powerful enough push for Florida (The New York Times, 08/31/2018, Making a Sunshine Statement: Thinking Carbon-Free in Florida B1-B3). With a little help from Boston, Chicago, and Los Angeles' most prominent business models, consumers will be able to buy all the necessities in bulk. After all, the best things in life are free. The vehicle maintenance shop receives 60 percent of its power from the 1,530 resident-owned solar panels and they'll receive plenty more if Orlando's Venus flytrap project for carbon emissions from power plants and vehicles in algae pools is successful (The New York Times, 08/31/2018, Making a Sunshine Statement: Thinking Carbon-Free in Florida B1-B3).

the water, sending power to the grid.      
By the year 2020, Orlando expects at least eight percent of its electric grid supplied by much of its municipal utility districts, catered also to Universal studios and Sea World, to come from solar energy. Orlando's game is one where other cities and municipals are playing at but only under the distinction of net-zero energy usage by the year 2030. And can one city, with three of the wealthiest capitals behind them, really compete with a bunch carbon kingpins that dominate a world where health is a small price to pay for greater energy, as well as an entire government that is determined to keep one and crush the other? That's really up to selective perception now, is it? It works through everybody.
