So now communities just have to pursue net-negative emissions goals?

if all the icecaps and glaciers melt, which they currently are, Florida is going the way of Atlantis. Never mind making liberal heads explode or throwing marginalized outgroup profiles in prison for fun and profit; you'd think sheer simple self-preservation would mean something.

Florida loves banning things. I don't know how Floridians can handle so much Freedom

Heh, malicious compliance time: time for net-negative emissions goals 🤪

How stupid can you be.

Making it illegal to be efficient. Perfect example of why the US is too dumb to continue to exist.

Why? What the hell is the problem if they want to?

Makes no fucking sense. Also this lame ass "government" shouldn't be even allowed to dictate this shit to businesses.

All I can think of is coal lobbyists paying for this shit to happen. Fuck you all; wish you the worst.

There's gotta be some kinda German word for what Florida represents.

From the bill:

"Net zero policy" means any policy, program, or initiative designed to achieve a balance between total amount of greenhouse gas emitted into the atmosphere with an equal amount removed from the atmosphere.

It really is the exact sort of dumb you can weasel out of. "Our program seeks to be carbon negative" is not net-zero, nor is just setting one of the intermediate goal points as the goal (e.g., instead of net-zero by 2050, 50% reduction by 2035). There are some specific restrictions about cap and trade policies and taxes based on carbon content though, so it's not just the net-zero restriction.

This is simply a fuck you to the rest of the world. “We care so little about climate change that we’re going to intentionally make it worse”

I mean... Sooner or later cat 5 will struck again, they don't seem to give a shit...

HB 1217 also prevents local governments from purchasing items such as vehicles or appliances based on the fuels they use

Technically this allows for malicious compliance "actually we wanted to buy a gas powered engine but the law didn't allow us to specify the fuel"

I don't understand the purpose of so many restrictive policies. Very overbearing to have a government like that

Net zero? Ok, just pursue negative emissions

Just waiting patiently for Florida to sink into the sea.

Lol Florida

America and their governments get dumber by the minute. It is amazing how much stupidity one can cast into a law, being blinded by ideology (or better, idiocity).

I need Temu Trump removed from power asp.

desantis, you never had a chance at the presidency, never will. stop trying.
