In this mention

Florida's legislature approved a comprehensive energy bill that would require utilities to use renewable energy sources, mandate 10 percent ethanol in gasoline, and improve building efficiency codes. The bill also streamlines transmission line construction and allows utilities to recover nuclear plant costs early. SACE spokesperson Melissa Meehan criticized the nuclear provisions, arguing that efficiency, conservation, and renewables are better policy options.
