Florida does nicely with solar__we don't have wind, it spoils the view.

Florida Quick Facts

Florida consumes less energy per capita than all but two other states, but it is the fourth-largest energy-consuming state and uses almost eight times as much energy as it produces.

Florida's many tourists helped make the state the nation's third-highest motor gasoline consumer in 2018, and the third-highest jet fuel user in 2019.

Florida is the second-largest producer of electricity after Texas, and natural gas fueled about 74% of Florida's electricity net generation in 2019.

Coal consumption in Florida's electric power sector fell from about 29 million tons in 2008 to about 9 million tons in 2019, as natural gas-fired power plants replaced older coal-fired units.

In 2019, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal energy accounted for almost 4.6 million megawatthours of electricity generation in Florida, about half of the state's renewable-sourced generation. That's slightly higher than Texas for commercially resourced Solar. Not sure about residential, we have a lot of that here.

And 12 waste to energy plants. Two nuclear plants.

I got my statistics from a 2021 source,up to date. It only listed the top three solar producing states. I was surprised North Carolina was number three. Texas has the most natural gas reserves in America. Buses in Houston run on CNG. The trend I've noticed is that America is definitely moving forward on renewables. Is Florida doing anything about the preservation of the Everglades? That doesn't get much attention nationally.

You forgot your source   https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/20/nearly-100000-in-u-s-died-from-coronavirus-in-bidens-first-month-in-office/

That makes it a lie? We hit 400,000 on Jan. 19th.

We don't have a press pounding the public with numbers every day now. One-fifth of the total in just one month. We can have a candle lighting moment and all is good.

I have a four-stroke snow blower. I had a four stroke weed whacker.   I'm trying to reduce the number of engines in my life.

Colorado isn't even in the top 10!

I read that coal fired power plants release more radiation than nuclear plant...well...except if there's an explosion or tsunami.

I have a half-way decent electric chainsaw I use for 90% of my chain-sawing.  Then I have a 2 cycle that's in the corner of the barn sitting in a puddle of sticky oil covered in dust.

I do too. The cord is a pain though.

Detroit had this giant incinerator.  It shut down. Like everything else in Detroit  since the 70's, it was a complete disaster.

There was one near me back in NJ that has been producing electricity for years.

Yeah. But it's way safer and cleaner.
