Cecily Strong: Why I'm Involved | Years of Living Dangerously

Working in comedy, I spend all my off time watching a lot of documentaries. So this was so exciting! It's like a little kid getting to jump into a video game.

You're the sunniest state, ignoring the sun. Exactly, the Sunshine State, and you're not allowed to provide energy through Sunshine. I've sort of been learning along doing this documentary, and I've started reading articles on my own. I'm texting my family and friends, and now they're learning along with me.

We have some very powerful power companies that have a monopoly over the marketplace, and they want to keep it that way. Solar would be a threat; that's really what it comes down to. We have a ton of potential here, but hardly any solar. It's less than 1% currently in the State of Florida.

82% of voting Floridians are in favor of measures that would make it easier for people to go solar here. The main thing that the story wants to get across, that I think most people don't know, is that solar really is ready for deployment. The roadblocks that exist are mainly political.

So which one would you sign if you wanted to see more solar in Florida?

I think I've seen this one before.

You have seen that? You've actually seen this?

I've seen the green one. Do you know who's behind this?

I have no clue.

The energy company. You guys started a pro-solar petition, and the energy companies created an anti-solar petition that looks like a pro-solar petition.

Exactly! So many people want it, and it's being blocked by so few. It's infuriating. This is a solution to the climate crisis that we're in right now. This is an easy solution. I hope people feel that way too and make solar happen faster.
