Florida’s Fossil Fuel Renaissance: Why the Sunshine State is Laughing Off Climate Hysteria
15 hours ago Charles Rotter 21 Comments
Ah, Florida—the land of sunshine, palm trees, and, apparently, the most evil of all things: fossil fuels. If you listen to Gavin Maguire at Reuters, you’d think the state was single-handedly bringing about the end of days by stubbornly refusing to give up on natural gas and other fossil fuels.

Maguire’s article, which is as much a lament as it is a piece of journalism, paints Florida as the villain in a story where the rest of the country is the hero, gallantly marching toward a green utopia. But here’s the kicker: Florida’s doing just fine, and the people who live there know it. Let’s break down the absurdity of the climate scolds and see why Florida’s energy strategy is not only sensible but downright smart.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
