Florida power and Light to build solar plant

Gov.Charlie Crist and FPL Group announced Wednesday the company's 2.4 billion investiment aimed at increasing U.S. solar energy and reducing greenhouse emissions.The company said it plans to build a 300 megawatt solar thermal plant somewhere in Florida.This plant will serve as an example to other Florida and American companies that alternative energy can work.

The director of the Florida Solar Energy Center at the University of central Florida applauded the announcement ,saying the solar plant is"huge".The plant will use mirrors to heat water and create steam to drive a turbine.

The announcement demonstrates FPL's continued commitment to improve the environment and reaffirm our leadership position among U.S. utilities to combat global warming ,Said Lew Hay,Chairman and CEO of FPL Group.

The solar plant will produce less than half the energy of the former proposed coal-fired power plant in Taylor County that tallahassee was a partner in before the project was dropped in June.

Here is an example of what our engineers can do to decrease our importation of oil.haiti has the same number of Sunny days ,if not more than Florida,why can't our electrical engineers do the same?It is not only important to obtain a diploma ;or to tell other people that I am a doctor in Science,you have to produce something with that diploma;othewise it will only be a piece of paper that shows you have successfully passed an examination.What we need are entrepreneurs,engineers ,technicians that can produce goods and services for our consumption. We have enough journalists broadcasters ,writers, diplomats, lawyers.Let us guide our youth toward tehnical field that can produce what we need for our economical development.It will not help to blame others by talking about "scientific apartheid".We have to offer our young cadres opportunities and salaries for them to stay in the country.Knowledge is appreciated in the developped countries.We have to cherish ;adore our young doctors and engineers.Give them the tools they need to produce and applied their knowledge.We have to increase the level of our schools.stop making them learn the rites of the catholic religions ,more sciences and math are what produces good engineers.Increase the budget of the department of Education instead of thinking to buy arms for a small army.
