A group of concerned citizens are traveling to Tallahassee June 28 and June 29 to meet and exchange substantive ideas that will promote and address clean energy legislation. The focus for myself is to communicate to my friends and other delegates how important a comprehensive energy plan is to the state of Florida and our country. Our state and national energy policy simultaneously affect our employment, national security, economic and finally our environmental policies. This interconnection is often overlooked. If you make a good or bad decision regarding one of these four interconnected elements the effect is felt in a negative or positive way with the other three. For instance if we want to create jobs it will require a change in our energy policy (i.e. feeding tariffs will stimulate renewable energy production and jobs in that industry) which will have a positive effect on the environment, and our national security and our overall state and national economic well-being. Conversely, continuing to import vast amounts of foreign oil requires a stable Middle East and a commitment of a large military force, it drains our economic resources, it continues to negatively affect our environment and stifles any opportunity to create new jobs.
