周二塔佛羅里州Tallahasse市推出了12款現(xiàn)行車隊效率更高的新巴士。
Tallahassee市僅僅只是佛羅里達州數(shù)十個試圖降低能源成本的城市之一,此時全州范圍內(nèi)努力停滯不前。
上周,120為商界、環(huán)保界和州領導人承諾停止使用石油,而且呼吁召開一次清潔能源特別會議,創(chuàng)造稅務優(yōu)惠太陽能電源,太陽能動力汽車及其他能源的替代形式。
盡管州政府還在等待一個更進步的能源計劃...估計每天仍有有60千桶石油不斷涌出進入墨西哥灣。
此前為促進清潔能源作出的努力一直未能實現(xiàn)。佛羅里達州此次的太陽能回贈計劃讓人震驚,州政府不能與之保持一直步伐。數(shù)以萬計在屋頂安裝太陽能發(fā)電組件的民眾人在等待政府實現(xiàn)諾言為其買單。
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Tuesday the city of Tallahassee rolled out 12 new buses that are more energy efficient than the current fleet.
Tallahassee is just one of dozens of Florida cities trying to cut energy costs, while statewide efforts continue to stall.
Last week 120 business, environmental and state leaders pledged to stop using oil; the Clean Energy Congress then called for a special session to create more tax incentives for solar power, electric cars, and other alternative forms of energy.
And while the state waits for a more progressive energy plan… an estimated 60-thousand barrels of oil a day continues to gush into the Gulf of Mexico.
A previous effort to promote clean energy has been a bust. Florida’s Solar Rebate Program was such a hit, the state couldn’t keep up its end of the bargain. And 10-thousand people who put solar systems on their houses are still waiting for their checks.
