Solar power is Florida’s Cheapest, Most Abundant and Most Secure Source of Energy
By David Jenkins, Conservatives for Responsible Stewardship
As a lifelong conservative who has spent decades working on energy-related issues, including serving as a campaign surrogate on energy for John McCain’s 2008 presidential run, I recall that the GOP ethos on energy has been solidly rooted in the catchphrase “All of the Above.”
That phrase is in keeping with a genuinely conservative belief in the free market and its ability to drive investment to the smartest and most cost-effective energy technologies.
Not only is that approach naturally suited to keeping our energy costs low, it also can best ensure that America leads the global race to dominate future energy markets.
So, it was disappointing to hear Sunshine State gubernatorial candidate Paul Renner (a Republican) seemingly abandon “All of the Above” in favor of a hairbrained energy cancel culture that results in more rate hikes and threatens our energy future.
