DeSantis says 'bye' to big green

 American Action News:

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a series of energy-related bills into law on Wednesday that have climate alarm activists and the legacy media in an uproar.

Taken together, the new laws de-emphasize climate change considerations in favor of energy affordability and reliability, goals that were for decades the main focus of power providers and grid operators, but which The Washington Post now unironically describes as “conservative talking points” in a story on the matter.

“The legislation I signed today [will] keep windmills off our beaches, gas in our tanks, and China out of our state,” the governor said, per Florida’s Voice News . “We’re restoring sanity in our approach to energy and rejecting the agenda of the radical green zealots. Furthermore, we’re going to ensure foreign adversaries like China have no foothold in our state.”

In addition to deleting mention of “climate” or “climate change” from Florida law in at least nine different places, the new laws move to prohibit the building of massive offshore wind farms in Florida’s state waters, encourage the expansion of both natural gas and nuclear power generation capacity, protect against bans on gas stoves and other gas appliances, and prevent state agencies from contracting with foreign companies for products made using forced labor, the latter provision targeting some products specific to both solar and wind energy made in China.
...

The cliamte kooks have been necessarily driving up the cost of energy at the same time they are making it less reliable.  DeSantis has become a voice of sanity on the subject.

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
