According to Mike Antheil, Executive Director of FARE: "As one of the largest cities in the country, Miami could soon lead the country in many aspects of the renewable energy industry too. With the creation of Florida's first true long term marketplace, Miami could be the renewable energy export hub to Latin and South America, an opportunity that could bring billions of dollars and bountiful job creation for Florida."
