Some Florida households will get discounts for efficiency upgrades that are predicted to save at least 20% of the home’s energy use, getting back between $2,000 and $4,000. Plus, low- to moderate-income families could get up to $14,000 for purchasing high-efficiency equipment.

Florida lawmakers are moving toward approving an overhaul of state energy laws, including eliminating references to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and imposing a ban on offshore wind-energy generation.

A recent analysis indicated it’s no coincidence the Southeast has among the highest electricity bills in the country, and the lowest investment in energy efficiency.

The legislation would prohibit oil and gas leasing in all areas of the Outer Continental Shelf, promote offshore wind energy and restore 30% of the nation's oceans by 2030.

The pandemic is adding renewed urgency to a critical debate: Just how quickly can the planet reduce its dependence on oil?
