It has freed Albert Whitted Park from the main electric grid.

What is being billed as the nation's first Sustainable Electrical Energy Delivery System, was developed jointly by Progress Energy Florida and the University of South Florida.

2. What to do with uranium mining waste and 750,000 tonnes of depleted uranium hexafluoride

Should we "just pile this with the rest of the crap that people dump in their trash pretending that the act of dumping makes it go away."
