Gov. Crist signs PACE bill

Good news for solar and other small scale renewable energy - Governor Crist signed the Property Assessed Clean Energy bill yesterday.  The issue wasn't really in doubt with significant bipartisan support from the Florida Legislature (as rare as a spotted owl nowadays) and with no notable opposition.  Repubs like it because its a "voluntary tax" - the only type they tend to support. And Dems like it because of the blue-collar job creation implications.

Everyone else likes it because it makes sense.

There's drips of news out there on this, but I found a News Release from the Florida CFO (running for Governor herself) on the matter:
