90% of Floridians agree: the climate is changing. Climate disasters in FL have racked up $100B+ in damages in the past 5 years. We need leadership to protect affordability & quality of life. It's time to put Floridians first. @VoLoFoundation .

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Florida just eliminated all HOV lanes and ended EV/hybrid toll exemptions. Instead of easing congestion or supporting clean transportation, the state is doubling down on tolls and traffic. A step backward for commuters and climate.

Florida’s seagrass beds are under siege—climate change and human stressors threaten a vital marine ecosystem that supports fisheries, carbon storage, and coastal resilience. It’s time to protect our underwater forests. #ClimateAction.

Starting Oct. 1, Florida renters will have the right to know if their homes are at risk of flooding — a key step as climate-driven flood threats rise statewide. Transparency like this helps protect people and promote climate resilience. #FloodDisclosure.

Florida’s ports are global gateways — but the ships they welcome often burn the dirtiest fuel. A new international shipping fee, starting in 2028, could cut that pollution and boost clean technologies. It’s a win for our climate and our coasts.

The @GEVernova plant in Pensacola—the largest of its kind—employs 700 and powers NW Florida’s economy. It shows how clean energy investment, backed by tax credits Congress is now ending, has lifted communities nationwide.
