How does a society, built on fossil fuels, change everything, and what will life be like when we’re powered by clean and renewable energy?ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Florida utilities would gradually increase their electricity to 100% renewable by 2050 under a proposed rule unveiled Thursday by the state's agriculture commissioner.
“This is one of the most urgent issues of our time,” Fried said at a news conference in Miami. “We can't afford to deny this reality and the urgency of what is happening to our state.” The rule petition was signed by more than 200 young people, including 22-year-old Delaney Reynolds. She said at the news conference Thursday that the rule is a start at tackling one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions in power plants.
“As Florida's renewable energy leader and the leader of the nation's largest solar expansion, we will continue to work with state leaders to smartly move Florida with even more cost-effective renewable energy,” the FPL statement said.
