What does Florida’s energy future mean for your electric bill? ⚡

In the Tampa Bay Times today, The CLEO Institute’s Vice President of Policy and Partnerships, Susan Glickman, weighed in on gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds’ energy plan and the potential costs of expanding nuclear power.

“What makes electric bills go up is building expensive new power plants and costly capital expenditures such as transmission lines and under-grounding,” said Susan Glickman, a longtime Florida clean energy advocate and VP of Policy and Partnerships at The CLEO Institute.

“When it comes to nuclear, ‘it’s a big red flag when Donalds pushes for the most expensive form of power,’” she added.

Today and every day, we honor Indigenous peoples, their enduring connections to our shared home, and the knowledge and leadership they bring to protecting our planet.

Swipe for a collection of thoughts, artwork, and reflections celebrating Indigenous land stewardship and the interconnectedness of our communities, nature, and our collective futures.

🎨 Artwork and campaign by Amplifier, Nia Tero, and IllumiNative, featuring artists Gregg Deal (Pyramid Lake Paiute), Mer Young (Hidalgo Otomi and Mescalero-Chiricahua Apache), Weshoyot Alvitre (Tongva), and Lmnopi featured on slides 2, 4 and 8. This campaign reminds people that we are not separate from the land, and that our fates are interconnected, particularly as our globe passes through multiple material crises of our own making, and racial justice and the November elections are top of mind.

Honoring Indigenous peoples means recognizing sovereignty, uplifting Indigenous voices, and supporting the communities caring for the lands and waters we all depend on.

Send this to your mom to remind her that you’re still a pain in her behind 😅. Anteater pups climb onto their mother’s back shortly after birth and hitch a ride for up to a year while they grow!

Found in the grasslands, wetlands, and tropical forests of Central and South America, these remarkable animals have no teeth. Instead, they gather ants and termites with a sticky tongue that stretches roughly two feet and flicks up to 150 times a minute. Talk about fast food.
