Tell state lawmakers: stop this dirty, dangerous energy bill

A far-reaching energy bill (HB 1645/SB 1624) slated for final votes in the Florida Legislature would, among other sweeping changes:

  • Eliminate parts of existing state law designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and delete most references to “climate change” in Florida statutes
  • Prevent communities from having a say on methane gas facilities in their own backyards
  • Promote construction of more carbon-emission producing gas pipelines
  • Impose a ban on offshore wind energy
  • Increase Floridians’ electric utility bills by allowing utilities to charge for methane facility relocation

Promoting dirty fossil fuels while restricting the expansion of clean, renewable, affordable energy technology is exactly the wrong kind of energy policy for Florida. Take action to send the letter below and urge your state legislators to oppose this oil and gas energy industry drafted bill that promotes dirty and dangerous fossil fuels, makes energy more expensive for consumers, and promotes human caused climate change denialism. Feel free to customize the letter below (optional).
