Florida to Host International Climate Change Conference
April 29th, 2008 by flanewsFlorida will host an international summit on climate change. Governor Charlie Crist made the announcement today in Tallahassee. The summit will be held in Miami. People from across the U.S. and around the world are expected to attend. Crist wants Florida to be at the forefront when it comes to the use of environmentally friendly technology. One of the topics of the summit will be the Governor’s energy bill. Part of the bill calls for more ethanol stations.
“There are some of these stations starting to creep up. In this energy package we talk about, which I believe will pass this week, we talk about E-10 inching forward. It’s very good for the people, very good for fuel efficiency and very good for low prices,” said Crist.
The Governor’s energy bill passed the House. It’s expected to be heard in the Senate before Friday. The summit will be held on June 25th.
