DeSantis official mocks climate change activist for outcry after new energy law.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A spokesperson for Gov. Ron DeSantis mocked a “media activist” who went after DeSantis for signing a new energy law that scrubbed climate change references and directives, opting to focus more on cost efficiency and reliability.
The Washington Post covered a Miami meteorologist who called the new law “Don’t Say Climate Change.”
“The world is looking to Florida to lead in climate change, and our government is saying that climate change is no longer the priority it once was,” said Steve MacLaughlin of NBC 6.
“As Florida is on fire, underwater and unaffordable, our state government is rolling back climate change legislation and language,” he said.
DeSantis communications director Bryan Griffin said “no one has done more for Florida’s environment” than the Florida governor.
“The Climate Change™ firm just can’t stand being cut out, even at the cost of reliable, clean domestic energy. Florida stands up for sanity,” he said.

Florida’s new law, signed by DeSantis last week, rescinds a phrase directing the state to address “the potential of global climate change.”
The bill also requires the state to study and evaluate the potential technical and economic advantages of using nuclear power technologies.
It also prohibits the expansion of certain green energy infrastructure in Florida, including offshore wind energy facilities and certain wind turbines.
It was sponsored by Rep. Bobby Payne, R-Palatka and Sen. Jay Collins, R-Tampa.
Griffin also cited past efforts by DeSantis to protect the state’s environment and natural resources to the tune of billions of dollars toward the Everglades and water quality.
