DeSantis Strips All References to Climate Change in Florida Law

DeSantis declared on X Wednesday that a bill he signed that removes climate change as a priority in state energy policy would restore “sanity” and reject “the agenda of the radical green zealots.”

“The legislation I signed today—HB 1645, HB 7071, and HB 1331—will keep windmills off our beaches, gas in our tanks, and China out of our state. We’re restoring sanity in our approach to energy and rejecting the agenda of the radical green zealots. Furthermore, we’re going to ensure foreign adversaries like China have no foothold in our state,” he noted. ...

Now, according to a legislative analysis cited by Axios, the focus will be on “an adequate, reliable and cost-effective supply of energy for the state in a manner that promotes the health and welfare of the public and economic growth.”

Good. That is precisely what every state should do as well. Here in Texas, we are still over-reliant on non-scalable and weather-dependent sources like wind and solar while excluding or downgrading scalable power generation options like coal, oil, natural gas, and nuclear. Let's hope the Texas state legislature catches up to Florida's.
