Energy As Industry - New Job's for the Sunshine State

Darrin McGillis promise to Floridian's:

I will be Florida's Chief Energy Advocate, working tirelessly to convince foreign and domestic companies that Florida is the place to manufacture energy – I will seek out these businesses and bring them home.

I will launch the "Florida is the Energy State" Campaign to market Florida's skilled workforce, technology base, manufacturing base, port facilities to energy producers, innovators and developers.

I will make Florida an attractive place to manufacture energy by offering a tax credit up to 100% of the corporate business taxes for any wind turbine and manufacturing facility that locates in Florida.

I will make Florida a center for clean energy production jobs, committing to a 5/1 ratio of production jobs in the next four years.

I will jumpstart our state’s solar energy production by requiring the installation of solar farms on the countless landfills in our state.
