Pushing politics aside, Republican Gov. Charlie Crist and former Democratic President Bill Clinton took the stage together to announce that Florida Power & Light will build a solar power plant in Florida as part of a $2.4 billion clean energy program.
"This is a huge deal for America and I think potentially a huge deal for people all around the world who want to do this," said Clinton, who introduced Crist and company Chief Executive Lew Hay at the beginning of the Clinton Global Initiative conference.
The conference is focused on finding ways to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, including poverty and climate change.
The locations of the proposed solar plants were not disclosed.

Clinton also praised Crist for signing an order that sets a goal of reducing the state's carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 and to 80 percent of 1990 levels by 2050.

First it was Ahnold and Baby Kennedy Jr...now Bubba. Crist continues to snuggle up with the Dems. Next thing we know, he'll endorse Hillary! in 2008.

I’m sure some of that money he saved by not getting married and living with his parents is sitting in her campaign coffers right now.

Crist ought to be trying to get off-shore oil drilling started so we’re paying $80/barrel to US citizens and companies.

I like the opening..."pushing politics aside."
That will be the day that CC pushes politics aside. With him, it's all politics.
He better stop sunbathing or he's gonna end up with a bad case of skin cancer.
NN, what is the viability of solar power setups in hurricane zones like the entire state? I bet that would be an additional cost to reinforce solar for extreme weather.

Yes, he’s more liberal than the old he-coon. CC looks like Homer Simpson’s boss at the power plant.
