Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill making climate change a lesser priority under state law and banning offshore wind turbines near the lengthy coastline
“We’re launching a study” is a classic cop-out. We’ve been “studying” hydrogen power for the last 30 years, with virtually no commercial applications.
Our development of nuclear energy in the US has completely stalled out, with the most recent project - the Georgia Vogtle 3 and 4 reactors - completing at 3x their original expected budget and eight years late. Along the way, the main designer of the plant - Westinghouse - straight up went bankrupt due to mismanagement and delays.
Wind power is crazy cheap and easy to deploy, by comparison. It takes less than two years for a wind turbine to turn a profit and new units can be deployed for millions - rather than billions - of dollars. We have thousands of turbines already in use and we’re prepared to run out tens of thousands more by the end of the decade.
This isn’t a good policy. Its do-nothing busy work for bureaucrats invested in the state’s legacy coal infrastructure.
