How proposed federal rollbacks of climate pollution standards could impact Floridians
In this mention
SACE's Dory Larsen, senior electric transportation program manager, warns that the Trump EPA's proposal to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding and roll back climate pollution standards would worsen dangerous storms and heat in Florida. Larsen emphasizes that renewable energy and battery storage are now cheaper and more available than fossil fuels, making the rollback economically counterproductive while simultaneously cutting resources from NOAA and FEMA that provide critical storm warnings and disaster recovery support.
We're seeing dangerous storms. We're seeing rapid heating of the air and water temperatures, and those are caused because we are increasing gases into the atmosphere
