Environmentalists are urging Governor Ron DeSantis to veto a bill they say would impact local plans to transition fully to renewable energy.
Environmentalists are hoping Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoes a proposal that would stop local governments from banning or restricting what fuels utilities can use. They fear it could threaten local clean energy plans.
Zac Cosner, with the environmentalist group, Florida Conservation Voters, says the measure has some problematic language. It bans local governments from taking any action that restricts or has the effect of restricting the fuels utilities can use. Instead, the state would preempt that power—Cosner questions what the "effect of restricting" means.
