Environment & Climate

Tampa Bay doesn’t need a lecture on the climate emergency, we’re living through it - devastating hurricanes, constant flooding, heat stroke. Changing weather is not going to stop for the greedy and we can’t afford to let fat cats cut corners. Let’s take responsibility and safeguard our state for the present we’re in and the future to come.

What we need to do:

  1. Stop Reckless Development: Repeal the law blocking stronger rebuilding rules after a hurricane and stop the state from weakening wetlands protections.
  2. Defend the Everglades and Our Coasts: Fight new offshore drilling, end sugarcane field burning, and fund buying land to protect our water.
  3. Protect Clean Energy: Lock in rooftop solar rates so families who go solar keep what they were promised.

How we do it:

  1. Stop Reckless Development: Repeal or sunset SB 180 (2025/2026), which bars all 67 counties from stronger post-storm land-use rules through 2027; condition any state takeover of Clean Water Act Section 404 wetlands permitting on maintaining current standards.
  2. Defend the Everglades and Our Coasts: Pass a resolution opposing new Eastern Gulf drilling leases; require a phased end to pre-harvest sugarcane burning (400,000 acres/year); fund roughly 100,000 more acres of Everglades Agricultural Area land acquisition.
  3. Protect Clean Energy: Codify current net-metering compensation rates into statute instead of leaving them to utility-commission rulemaking.
