> Mon 20 Dec 2021 10.35 EST. The biggest power company in the US is pushing policy changes that would hamstring rooftop solar power in Florida, delivering legislation for a state lawmaker to introduce, according to records obtained by the Miami Herald and Floodlight.
> Florida Power & Light, whose work with dark money political committees helped secure Republican control of the state Senate, is lobbying to hollow out net metering, a policy that lets Florida homeowners and businesses offset the costs of installing solar panels by selling power back to the company.
> An FPL spokesman, Chris McGrath, said the company does not oppose net metering but that the law should be revised so rooftop solar users are not subsidized by other customers who continue to buy electricity and pay to maintain the power grid.
> In Florida, rooftop solar expanded slowly until 2018, when regulators allowed electricity customers to lease solar systems with little or no upfront costs.
> Florida has the second-largest solar workforce in the US, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
> Justin Vandenbroeck, president of the Florida Solar Energy Industries Association who also owns an Orlando-based solar installation company, said if the bill passes it could "Send Florida back to 2013".

I know it's not diecast, but I found this truck in my shed still boxed and displayed it for a bit. The only price point I can find for it online is a broken model, and was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to find more info on its value? Thanks in advance guys, and sorry again if this is the wrong place to ask.
