Florida environmental agency fights plan to reduce power plant pollution
TALLAHASSEE — The state agency in charge of protecting Florida’s environment lashed out at a federal proposal aimed at reducing greenhouse-gas emissions from power plants, saying it “places the reliability, affordability and capacity of the nation’s energy supply at risk.”
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection released comments late Tuesday that it sent to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency urging that the proposed rules be dropped. They came amid similar objections from state and national utility-industry groups and the Florida Public Service Commission.
“[It] is clear the EPA has placed an emphasis on transitioning to a ‘net-zero world’ above the electric needs of Americans,” said the document signed by Secretary Shawn Hamilton. “Florida’s superior air quality is a result of ingenuity and smart governance. The proposed rules put states like Florida at greater risk, by attempting to force unproven transitional energy practices ahead of generating the energy capacity necessary to meet the demand of our residents, visitors and businesses.”
