Friday's Energy Absurdity: Corporate Media Verklempt Over DeSantis Energy Law
May 17
Some energy-related good news, this time out of Florida, where the best Governor in America today, Ron DeSantis, signed a new energy bill that de-emphasizes climate change, outlaws offshore wind farms in state waters, and places the emphasis of state energy policy where it should be: On the promotion of affordability and reliability.
Naturally, legacy media outlets are throwing a hissy fit.
Here’s an excerpt from the story at the Washington Post:
“In addition to removing the term climate change, the new law would make affordability and reliability the focus of the state’s energy policy - an echo of conservative talking points…”
So, “affordability and reliability” for your power grid are now nothing more than “conservative talking points”, folks. Who knew?
This excerpt is from a story at NPR on the same topic:
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Climate change will be a lesser priority in Florida and largely disappear from state statutes under legislation signed Wednesday by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that also bans power-generating wind turbines offshore or near the state's lengthy coastline.
Critics said the measure made law by the former Republican presidential hopeful ignores the reality of climate change threats in Florida, including projections of rising seas, extreme heat and flooding and increasingly severe storms.
It takes effect July 1 and would also boost expansion of natural gas, reduce regulation on gas pipelines in the state and increase protections against bans on gas appliances such as stoves, according to a news release from the governor's office.
[End]
That second paragraph, highlighted in italics, is a real gem of climate alarmist talking points, isn’t it? Note it’s always “predictions of” things like “rising seas, extreme heat and flooding and increasingly severe thunderstorms,” and, I guess, “Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!” as well. But it’s never actual observations of any of those things.
Kudos to Gov. DeSantis for taking the lead to do what every GOP governor in America should be doing.
Your turn, Greg Abbott. We’re all waiting.
That is all.
