Florida is headed in the right direction when it comes to electric cars. Since 2008, Florida ranks 4th out of all 50 states in the number of electric vehicles sold and has installed the 2nd-most publicly available charging stations in the nation, according to a new report released today by Environment Florida Research & Policy Center.
Tampa, Fla.– Industrial facilities dumped excessive pollution into Florida’s waterways 270 times over 21 months, the tenth worst total in the nation, according to a new report by Environment Florida Research & Policy Center. However, the facilities rarely faced penalties for this pollution. Environment Florida Research and Policy Center is releasing its Troubled Waters report as the federal government tries to weaken clean water protections and slash enforcement funding for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the states.
Environment Florida Research and Policy Center is part of The Public Interest Network, which operates and supports organizations committed to a shared vision of a better world and a strategic approach to social change.
