In a recent post, "Solar Power to the People," Mercury Falling discussed CitizenRe -- an effort to sell solar power to customers at the same price they currently pay for dirty power (like JEA's coal plant). On top of that, the rates would be guaranteed to stay steady for the next 25 years. Sounds like a great way to reduce our state-leading mercury emissions, right?
Well, groSolar CEO Jeff Wolfe rained on this parade when he posted a comment to Mercury Falling saying CitizenRe is a lot of promises with no proof.
To get CitizenRe's side of the story, Mercury Falling asked CitizenRe spokesman his thoughts on this issue. Here is what Ed Begley, Jr. had to say...
As of today, April 4th, Jeff Wolfe is correct...there is no proof of what Citizenre proposes.
BUT....I have every reason to believe that there will be a major announcement in the next 2 weeks that will change all that.
Stay tuned!

Howdy,
It has been a long time since I have hit the blogs about Citizenre and am happy to say there is some great news!
After a lot of passion and dedication of those of us who did not give up on the mission to bring renewable energy to the masses we have now got what we need to really make a difference.
We had a press Release this morning and I am happy to share three of the links where you can read about recent developments:

We are finally doing what we started out to do even tho' we had to make many changes.
Our plan is now even simpler... there is no longer a deposit required and all it takes to get a system is to be a home-owner in one of our service areas, have a home suitable for solar power, and the first month's rent.
No credit checks and a fixed rate for 10-years so many citizens can produce their own clean green energy.
WE will be adding new service territories as time progresses.
Peace,
Frank Knight
P.S. I have literally over 400 blogs to post to that basically wanted not to hear from us until there was some serious action so you may see this same message repeated... I certainly don't have time to make individual posts right now and will have many hours just copying and re-posting!
