Florida is on the brink of repealing a 16-year-old law that prioritizes climate change in energy policy decisions. The proposed bill aims to shift the focus to energy affordability and availability, rather than climate change concerns.
The state, known for its vulnerability to sea-level rise and extreme weather events, is facing a significant policy shift. The legislation awaiting Governor Ron DeSantis' signature would eliminate references to 'climate change' in state laws, undoing initiatives previously championed by former Governor Charlie Crist.
