Let’s Power Up, Florida
Clean Energy = Good Jobs
Let’s Power Up, Florida, Making Our Water & Air Cleaner & Our Climate Safer.
Florida’s been living through particularly difficult times. Now’s the time to get our economy back on track and address environmental injustice. We can power up our economy, reduce pollution that causes climate change which contributes to stronger hurricanes and more extreme weather, and make our air and water safer and cleaner.
Investing in building more electric vehicles charging stations and building more solar power creates good jobs while addressing some of the biggest sources of climate pollution. That’s good news for everyone, and with outreach and coordination, has the potential to bring significant public health benefits to frontline communities where the burden of pollution falls heaviest.
It’s time for Florida innovation to move us toward a cleaner, healthier and more prosperous future. Let’s Power Up, Florida.
