Florida property may be helped by new green law

A change in the constitution of Florida could see those investing in property in the state getting tax incentives to fit renewable energy devices to their homes.

The November elections will see several proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot besides the presidential vote, with Amendment Three proposing to offer tax breaks to householders fitting green devices such as solar water heating panels.

Should the amendment be accepted, it could mean more people being able to invest in greener property than would otherwise be the case.

One advantage of such a move could be that a property in a tourist area will be more attractive to eco-conscious visitors keen to counterbalance the carbon footprint of flying to the state, while another would be lower fuel costs.

It is one of the latest moves by proponents of green energy in the US.

Recently the Texan city of San Antonio unveiled proposals to generate energy by burning methane from human waste.
