It's not going to be funny when we are paying up the wahzoo for power generated with natural gas.

Florida is becoming more and more reliant on natural gas for it's power needs. You can only get so much out of just one type of fuel.

If he at least where doing something other than paying lipservice at the alternatives, I would take him seriously.

coal plants pollute. they spew out
mercury into the air and contaminate
everything.(water, soil, fish, plants,
your children).

Check your Thermometer ----------

The Glaciers in Greenland are retreating rather rapidly.
If they were all to melt , sea levals rise 20 Feet.

So if only 25% melts , 5 feet higher will eliminate Floridas' Energy Problem.

Actually, and you can look this up in the Florida archives,......When Walt Disney first bought the land for his Florida theme park, the Governor was a man named Hayden Burns. They worked out a plan by which Disney could have their own nuclear power plant right there in Lake Buena Vista. Don't believe me? Look it up. I'm a fifth generation Floridian and I remember it very well.
interesting, I do believe it and think they should reconsider, thx

Start off with solar panels above half of the parking lots. Fund it by charging an extra $2 for covered parking. Solar panels work during the day, when the theme parks are burning through electrons like there's no tomorrow.
