Time reporter Michael Grunwald reports that developer and former Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys player, Syd Kitson, has unveiled plans for a Florida green community for as many as 45,000 inhabitants.  The plans feature a photovoltaic solar power plant, a smart grid, and a variety of energy efficiency strategies.
