The Florida House passes bill to prevent offshore wind energy

In Florida, WMNF reported that The Florida House recently gave final approval to a bill that would make a series of changes in state energy laws, including preventing offshore wind-energy generation and removing references to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The House voted 81-29 to pass the bill (HB 1645), which had been approved last week by the Senate in a 28-12 vote. It is ready to go to Gov. Ron DeSantis for final approval. The bill would ban wind turbines offshore and within one mile onshore of the coast and the Intracoastal Waterway.
