Joe Biden is hell-bent on forcing the Left’s green energy agenda on the country.
But Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is fighting back.
And all hell broke loose on the Left after Ron DeSantis took this bold action on climate change.
Under the guise of solving the alleged “climate crisis,” Joe Biden and the Democrats are waging an all-out war on fossil fuels.
On his first day in office, Joe Biden canceled construction on the Keystone XL Pipeline and shut down drilling for oil on federal lands.
Biden also implemented new regulations designed to force Americans into electric vehicles.
His goal is to have half of all new vehicles sold by 2030 be electric.
Biden is also hell-bent on building enough offshore wind energy facilities to power more than 10 million homes by 2030.
But Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is taking action to protect the Sunshine State from the devastating economic effects of Biden’s green energy agenda.
On Wednesday, DeSantis signed three bills into law that deal with Biden’s push for so-called green energy.
“The legislation I signed today will keep windmills off our beaches, gas in our tanks, and China out of our state,” DeSantis said. “We’re restoring sanity in our approach to energy and rejecting the agenda of the radical green zealots,” he continued. “Furthermore, we’re going to ensure foreign adversaries like China have no foothold in our state.”
The legislation I signed today—HB 1645, HB 7071, and HB 1331—will keep windmills off our beaches, gas in our tanks, and China out of our state.

The first piece of legislation, HB 1645, updates Florida’s energy policy for how various state agencies should implement them.
It removed a phrase in the previous policy that instructed state agencies to deal with “the potential of global climate change.”
The bill prohibits so-called green infrastructure, such as certain offshore wind energy facilities and turbines, from expanding in Florida and places an emphasis on the potential use of nuclear power for energy.
HB 7071 banned the State Board Administration from accepting holdings of Chinese companies as part of the Florida Retirement System Trust Fund.
It also requires the administration to review the current holdings to ensure that none of them are Chinese owned.
And HB 1331 addressed what companies agencies are allowed to contract with in the state.
Specifically, it prevents any agency in the state from contracting with a company that uses forced labor to acquire commodities.
The new legislation repeals programs that require state agencies to use so-called climate friendly products and purchase Bidenmobiles.
Of course, the left-wing media erupted into a fit of rage over the legislation signed by DeSantis.
“Such radicalism would be indefensible in any state, but the fact that this is happening in Florida makes it all the more bonkers,” MSNBC reported. “DeSantis and his party are aware of these problems, and they’re responding by taking deliberate steps to make matters worse.”
