2012
Florida Energy Summit
The Florida
Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) will host the 2012
Florida Energy Summit at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in
Orlando, August 15-17, 2012. As the
successor to the previous Farm
to Fuel initiative, the
Florida Energy Summit encompasses not only agricultural-based fuels,
but also
all renewable energy and energy conservation activities in the state. The
summit will explore how Florida can secure
a stable,
reliable and diverse supply of energy. Leaders
from the agricultural, utility, solar, government, academic,
technology, and
financial communities will gather to discuss the future of the energy
industry
in Florida. Discussion topics will include
state energy policy and the impact of the recently enacted Florida
energy bill
(HB7117), as well as innovative energy-related research efforts
throughout the
state. Homeowners, businesses, local
governments and energy producers will have an opportunity to learn and
share
ideas to help advance the development of the state's energy industry
and
conservation practices.
