Action Team Principal Conclusions

• Based upon the findings of the IPCC, Floridas
  resources, communities, and economy are expected
  to experience significant impacts if the current
  trajectory of global greenhouse gas emissions is
  not reversed
• Early action to address global climate change has
  significant energy security benefits for
  Floridians, while positioning the state to become
  a regional and hemispheric hub of green
  technology innovation and investment
• Energy efficiency, demand-side management, and
  energy conservation present Florida with numerous
  opportunities to reduce energy costs, increase
  the buying power of Floridas families, and make
  the states business sector more cost-competitive
  in the global market
• Investments today in low-carbon energy sources
  renewables, nuclear power, and biofuels will
  stimulate Floridas economy and redirect current
  expenditures on imported fossil fuels toward
  Florida-based energy sources retaining
  significant flows of money within local
  economies
• Market-oriented regulations will efficiently
  guide a low-carbon economy while protecting
  energy consumers, maintaining Floridas
  agricultural competitiveness, and building more
  sustainable communities.
