Well, at least for the public transport and the mid-range price point automobiles. Those who want to burn gas and run fast, can pay for it.

What was the result of your testimony before the legislature? Are they seeking a political solution that establishes themselves over the data you have presented, thus stalling the economic growth in the state. Where can training be obtained to secure a career in the Florida Renewable Energy market?

You also don' look at the maintenance costs - which are higher for the ICE. And a battery certainly won't last 20 years. If we want to discuss this topic seriously I would expect better researched posts from the Florida Solar Energy Center.

I would be interested to know the source for your PV kWh cost? Or maybe spell out the assumptions you used (install cost, subsidies, financing rates, etc... or maybe you used costs from a "solar lease"-type deal, with no upfront payment - eg solar city and co?).
