But Amendment 1 also would enshrine in the constitution the authority for state and local governments to regulate solar energy and "ensure that consumers who do not choose to install solar are not required to subsidize the costs of backup power and electric grid access to those who do." Supporters say this provision would protect Floridians who aren't interested in generating solar power, or can't afford to buy or lease rooftop panels to do it. Like the rest of the amendment, this part certainly sounds reasonable.
