Florida’s energy action plan

Yesterday, Gov. Charlie Crist created the Florida Governor’s Action Team on Energy and Climate Change — what some are calling his “green team.” The 21 members are in charge of the Energy and Climate Change Action Plan.

The team’s first action: by Nov. 1, they are supposed to come up with a way to conserve energy and rely less on fossil fuels to reduce greenhouse gases. In a news release, Crist said, “More than 70 percent of Florida’s electricity is generated by fossil fuels, which contribute to our state’s carbon emissions. By diversifying, we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect consumers from volatile fuel prices.”
