Action Alert
LWVF: Action Alert on Renewable Energy Policy
March 4, 2009
The League of Women Voters of Florida supports energy conservation and
use of environmentally sound renewable resources in order to provide maximum
protection of public health and the environment.
Florida is poised to move forward on a renewable energy plan; the utility
industry is lobbying the Legislature to allow nuclear power as an eligible
resource in meeting the target of 20% renewable energy. Other states do
not permit the inclusion of nuclear energy to meet renewable energy goals.
Since nuclear energy is not a renewable resource, it should not be included
in a policy intended to promote renewable energy.
Contact Governor Crist and voice your concern.
