据相关报道,至今,“阳光之州”-佛罗里达政府仍然拖欠其居民5270万美元的太阳能安装退税.且目前相关部门并未计划履行退税的承诺.
然而,事实上已经超过15,800人正在焦急等待这项返还款,这大大打消了房主和一些企业在进一步投资安装太阳能热水器和电力系统的积极热情.
该州7月份步入了新的财年,这意味着佛州议会已经连续两年拒绝拨款给广受欢迎的项目.州政府能源办副主任 Travis Yelverton说，这项提议早已让许多人都等候了数年.
Sunshine State stiffs homeowners on solar rebates
The state owes Floridians $52.7 million in unpaid solar energy rebates and has no immediate plan to honor its financial promise.
More than 15,800 people await the rebates, which were dangled before homeowners and businesses to encourage greater investment in solar energy technologies such as solar-power water heaters and electric systems.
The state's new fiscal year, which started in July, marks the second consecutive year that the Florida Legislature has refused to fund the popular program.
Some people have been on the waiting list for years, said Travis Yelverton, deputy director of the Governor's Energy Office.
