The nation's largest solar photovoltaic plant will power up on October 20th. I've written often about Florida Power & Light (FPL) and still have it as a Strong Buy for its overall involvement in alternative energy, including wind and solar. FPL also pays a handsome dividend.
The new solar center, the DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center, is in Acadia, Florida. And this is just one of three that FPL is building! Another one is being built in Martin County, and one at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
The Martin County facility will be the first hybrid solar thermal plant in the world, scheduled for completion in about a year. There are more than 600 construction workers on site at the Martin County facility, and FPL plans on continuing to hire.

Florida State University's award winning film school is in discussions to partner with a Hollywood spin-off of a digital production group. Wyndcrest Holdings LLC is trying to tie up the loose ends on a deal that will create a 150,000 square foot facility within the Tradition development in Port St. Lucie.
The new Wyndcrest company would be working on animated feature films and video games. Another division of the company would be working on military projects concentrating on combat simulations.
This is another example of how much potential there is in the Tradition area of Port St. Lucie. The bio-tech industry is already started at Tradition and promises to be a very bright spot for high paying jobs and for the growth of support companies to the institute.

More great news for Florida's future and Martin County. Bert Sakmann, a Nobel Laureate, has been named the Scientific Director of the Max Planck Florida Institute based in Jupiter. Even though the bio-tech park is in Palm Beach county, Martin County will benefit tremendously from firms servicing the industry, as well as scientists working at the bio-tech park that want to take advantage of Martin County's A-Rated schools.
Research at the Max Planck Institute will focus on bio-imaging, working closely with their neighbor, Scripps Florida. The Max Planck institute will be creating 1,824 jobs and $2.4 billion in labor compensation over 20 years in return for almost $200 million in incentives from the State, Local Government and partners.
The permanent facility of the institute is a 100,000 sqaure foot state of the art biomedical complex expected to open in 2011.
