As part of the State Budget signed by Ron DeSantis on Monday, St. Petersburg, FL received $1 million towards our resiliency and flood mitigation efforts in Shore Acres. Thank you to Rep. Rep. Lindsay Cross and Sen. Nick DiCeglie for your bipartisan support of this vital project.

Florida is on the frontlines of the climate crisis—facing stronger storms, heavier rainfall, and skyrocketing insurance costs. The price of inaction is growing. It’s time for bold, urgent action. youtube.com/watch?v=5VsdOw…

As Florida heats up and power bills soar, Congress is gutting support for cost-saving clean energy. Slashing energy tax credits and sowing uncertainty threatens jobs, hikes bills, and kneecaps climate progress. A gift to polluters, not people. tinyurl.com/bddfwj26

Florida’s coasts are eroding—but UF researchers are fighting back with nature. A $7M Army Corps grant funds wetland and dune restoration to blunt storms, store carbon, and protect ecosystems. Real resilience starts with the land. #NatureBasedSolutions tinyurl.com/23etcwap

In Florida, hurricane season is a test of resilience. As our Florida Program Manager Alexandra DySard writes, EVs are emerging as lifelines—powering homes, supporting health, and keeping communities connected when the grid goes down. #CleanEnergy tinyurl.com/29629vdy

Cuts to NOAA's hurricane research threaten decades of progress in storm forecasting. Experts warn closures of key labs like HRD/AOML/NOAA in Miami could reduce forecast accuracy by up to 40%, risking lives and economic losses. floridaphoenix.com/2025/07/09/wea…

The “Big Beautiful Bill” is ending key clean energy incentives in Florida. Tax credits for rooftop solar, electric vehicles, and home efficiency upgrades will begin to phase out this year, making energy more expensive for families and businesses. tinyurl.com/4ucaxsac

In rural Glades County, Glades County School District' electric school buses are more than just cleaner and cooler — they’re emergency-ready. In a hurricane, they can power phones and provide AC when the grid fails. Leaders say it’s a vital backup as FEMA support thins. tinyurl.com/bdht67f7

Mangroves protect Florida’s coasts, filter pollution, and shelter wildlife. Illegal removal and weak enforcement endanger ecosystems like the Indian River Lagoon. Stronger protections are crucial. tinyurl.com/ycy2dma5

Higher storm risks → higher insurance bills → fewer buyers. Florida’s future depends on thoughtful solutions. cleantechnica.com/2025/07/14/flo… #Insurance #Florida

In Florida’s lowest income inland counties—Glades, Hendry, Highlands & Okeechobee—homeowners are being dropped by insurers at higher rates than many coastal areas even though their storm risk isn’t higher. These communities are paying the price. insideclimatenews.org/news/06072025/…

Clean transportation is smart policy—for health, for learning, and for the economy. Electric school buses produce zero tailpipe emissions, cut absenteeism, and support better student outcomes. Florida’s children deserve the benefits of clean mobility. #CleanEnergy

Public EV charging is growing - nearly doubling in the US since 2020. But Florida lags behind other states. To meet driver demands, grow tourism, and better prepare for hurricanes, we must build faster. More EV chargers = a more resilient, cleaner Florida. canarymedia.com/articles/ev-ch…
