Climate change will be a lesser priority in Florida and largely disappear from state statutes under legislation signed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, also banning offshore wind turbines.
DeSantis' bill boosts natural gas expansion, reduces regulation on gas pipelines, and increases protections against bans on gas appliances under the guise of common-sense energy policy.
Critics argue that the legislation ignores the reality of climate change threats, such as rising seas, heat, flooding, and storms, emphasizing profit protection for the fossil fuel industry over public interest.
