DeSantis Recognizes the Threat Posed by Climate Change, but Hasn’t Embraced Reducing Carbon Emissions
In this mention
Governor Ron DeSantis has prioritized climate adaptation and resilience spending in Florida but has largely neglected emissions reductions and clean energy transition. While environmental advocates initially praised his early directives on science and resilience, they now assess his record as insufficient, particularly regarding renewable energy adoption and fossil fuel reduction. Susan Glickman of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy notes that SACE's latest energy efficiency report ranks Florida third-worst among Southeastern states.
