"A Breath of Fresh Air for Florida"

A breath of fresh air for Florida

By CARL HIAASEN

Something that was once unimaginable in Florida happened last week: A Republican governor hosted a global warming summit.

Then he issued a series of executive orders aimed at greatly reducing air pollution from cars, utilities and new homes.

He's also putting solar panels on the Governor's Mansion, asking utility companies to build more windmill generators and ordering all state vehicles to use ethanol or other biofuel blends.

It's official: Charlie Crist is the un-Jeb.

3. Knowing FL (native), I thought we were in for a problem when he was
elected, but just prayed he would have a dab of sense, and immediuately he hit the ground running with many good ideas.
