Please explain: Plants that manufacture PV panels, or plants that use PV?

Florida is known as the "Sunshine State", yet there is no widespread solar
energy use. Sure, some homes use solar to heat swimming pools, and you can
see solar operated electric signs along the highways, but it's not
everywhere.
In Italy the economic life is hard.

Same here. The question is, do you want the government involved, and how do
you want the government to act? Germany has passed legislation mandating the
use of solar energy on new construction. The resulting demand for PV panels
has caused prices for the panels to rise everywhere. California is
considering similar legislation.

Italy now has some exceptional economic measures in place to capitalise on
solar power does it not?
You will be seeing a strong uptake of solar energy in Italy .
Italy impacted by the fallout of cherynoble decided in a national referendum
to abstain from nuclear power
and is now seeking a strong reliance on renewables.
President Bush did speak the truth at one time during the State of the Union
Address on 31 Jan. He said that the USA was addicted to oil, and renewable
sources of energy must be developed. However, since his family has made its
fortune in "big oil", I would have to regard such a statement as one that a
drug pusher would make. There are very few programs in the USA to develop
renewable energy, and government participation will not change as long as
Bush is President. Whatever we learn about solar energy, we get the
information on our own.

True!... In Italy there's the possibility to obtain State financing of up to
75% of
total installation costs for solar energy production plants. The problem is
that
beaurocracy is always a let down in this country and added to the high costs
that this technology still has, doesn't make the solar energy choice so
conveniant.
Unfortunately, there's also the political side to it. If you have someone at
the local authority
that can allow you through the beaurocracy process, well half the job gets
done straight
away, otherwise you might as well give up.
In italy, business isn't about having the best idea or having the best
product to sell
but all about having the right political "friend" in the right place at the
right time.
I could go on and on about this specific issue but I don't wan't to get
anyone bored.
