      And when we’re long gone and Florida is half under water… Historians will put his name up around the top of helping its destruction.

      Guess he just wants to be remembered for something.

        That bald fuck who got away with the largest medical fraud in history is wishing he could have destroyed the state as much as meatball face is right now.

          In all fairness that bald fuck owns a significant portion of BrightLine which is killing Floridians in South Florida faster than any other rail system.

    It’s not like climate change will affect Florida at all. /s

      Yeah, I can understand objecting to climate change policy, but Florida is pretty deeply in the “stands to really disproportionately hurt from climate change” category.

    The measure signed by DeSantis would also launch a study of small nuclear reactor technology, expand the use of vehicles powered by hydrogen and enhance electric grid security, according to the governor’s office.

    Got some whiplash at the end there after reading some of the most dumbass policies that’ve ever been written.

      He’s not trying to entirely cripple his base of power, just look good to an audience. He could make Florida destitute in an afternoon if he so chose, but he would fall out a window by morning if he did, and knows it, so there’s some bare minimum stuff in there just to keep the lights on.

    I feel bad for the people who didn’t vote for this guy, but are stuck there and have to pay the price for these shitty decisions.

    Also, let’s not forget that DeSantis can’t do anything unilaterally. A whole legislature made this possible.

    Isn’t on of the things on the first page of their book a command to be good and responsible stewards for their environment?

    What happens if they build coastal wind turbines that become offshore when sea levels rise?

    It’s okay, Floridian onshore wind farms will soon be offshore wind farms in a couple of years

    If caring about the planet makes me an extremist in your eyes, I think that says more about you than it says about me.
