Identify the important criteria to evaluate possible solutions.	What are the necessary conditions for any possible solution to work?         Are there budget or labor concerns?        Does the public need to be aware of and support the solution?         What challenges are there to implementing each solution?         How else might you judge possible solutions against each other?         What do your parents/others in the community say about the issue?        Should possible externalities factor into the chosen solution?	For the solutions to work, the State of Florida and all of its residents and businesses must abide by the rules. Money is also necessary for implementing solar panels on all new buildings.        There are budget concerns, for sure. Solar panels are expensive, but in the long run they will be worth it. However, I don’t believe there are labor concerns because this will introduce job opportunities. Also, for companies that use carbon and dangerous chemicals, it might be costly.         I definitely think that the public should be aware of the solutions and have full support of them. I believe that they will support it because of the consequences that would come up otherwise.       The challenges to implementing each solution are getting the government and businesses in support of them, because they are costly, and the carbon tax/chemical regulation may make it harder for businesses.         I would just look at the total cost of implementing each, as well as the total possible benefits of each. Also, the amount of support each solution has.         Many people in my community are very doubtful and in denial about this issue. However, I think they are just ignorant to facts and may think otherwise if they actually spent the time to research.         I definitely think that possible externalities should factor into the solution. If we don’t think about them, we might be in tough waters.
