clean energy

Environmentalists say a new law stops local governments from fully transitioning to clean energy. It voids local rules that limit what fuels utilities can use.

More than 60,000 homes, businesses and billboards are powered by solar energy across Florida right now, and one nonprofit is trying to increase that number by getting residents to purchase through multiple groups.

The bill's sponsor wants to prevent local governments from banning natural gas as a fuel utilized to power buildings.

If communities wanted new buildings to have electricity power them and not natural gas, clean-energy advocate Susan Glickman says Senate Bill 1128 would preempt that choice.

The bills would set new rules on gun laws, emergency orders and clean energy.
