Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Wednesday that orders the removal of all references to “climate change” from state law.
DeSantis declared Wednesday that a bill he signed that removes climate change as a priority in state energy policy would restore “sanity” and reject “the agenda of the radical green zealots.”
“The legislation I signed today—HB 1645, HB 7071, and HB 1331—will keep windmills off our beaches, gas in our tanks, and China out of our state. We’re restoring sanity in our approach to energy and rejecting the agenda of the radical green zealots. Furthermore, we’re going to ensure foreign adversaries like China have no foothold in our state,” he noted.
The bill, which would also prohibit offshore wind turbines and enhance natural gas expansion, is set to take effect on July 1.
The legislation, which removes most references to climate change from state law, represents a reversal of many policies and legislation introduced during the tenure of then-Republican Governor Charlie Crist, who became a Democrat that DeSantis defeated in the 2022 gubernatorial race.
