Deputy Majority Leader Seth McKeel Lauds Solar Industry Support for Energy Exploration

TALLAHASSEE, FL – Deputy House Majority Leader Seth McKeel (R-Lakeland) issued the following statement regarding the Florida Solar Energy Industries Association’s support of energy exploration in Florida waters.

“The small business owners of the Florida Solar Energy Industry Association understand that it is going to take a combination of measures – conservation, alternative fuel sources and increased domestic production – to ensure abundant and affordable energy to move Florida and America forward.

“Every other Gulf State is utilizing their available energy resources, and so should Florida. Moving forward with energy exploration off Florida’s coasts helps maximize our resources to build a bridge to the clean technology of the future and the new jobs that solar energy technologies will provide for Floridians.

“It’s a commonsense approach in these tough economic times, and Florida’s solar energy leaders deserve recognition for being foresighted in their approach to our state’s energy future.”
