Now, its exact impact and what it exactly prohibits is probably up for some debate.
So it has no business being a law.

Republicans really coming in clutch with that whole "small government and freedom" schtick, aint they.
I've been told that only applies to the overall federal, and that states rights are important (somehow city & counties don't have those)... oddly enough these are the same places that claim that slavery wasn't the reason for the civil war.
Which state rights was the civil war fought over‽ That question usually undermines the racist state rights arguments from the new Nazi party
They make up a lot of fun things that aren't factual. I'm also super salty about how small government makes sure my local government can't do anything we want them to do through voting... but if these people acted on actual principles they'd have no one in office right now.
Small government what?
Net one goal
Fractions are non-zero: Net 10^-18^
net-negative goal, still not net-zero so all good!
Freedom.
Freedom's just another word for "admit that Christ is in charge and I am his king here on earth" to these Republican-Nazi bastards.
They aren't Christian.
The only time Christ really threatens damnation (Matthew 25), it's over the mistreatment of the poor, sick, imprisoned, and foregners.
For their king, they sure do excel at ignoring his wishes.
I get more worried every day shit like this comes out that the conspiracy theory that the rich want to accelerate the end of the world faster is true.
Oil dependence is use as a of controlling the world. Renewables changes that control. Therefore Renewables must be stopped.
In the same way slave owners fought against freeing slaves as that would mean losing a whole lot of power. Oil embargoes are much less effective against a country that has 100% renewables.
Spain has heavily adopted renewables, and it sailed through the recent oil-price shock with only minor economic ripples.

It is. It might not even be part of a strategy, if you look how they compuksively jack off the torment nexus.

Everyone who supported this bill is a climate criminal and should have a punishment proportional to poisoning every living person on the planet.

Let's go 'net-negative' policies
I didn't think they'd be that dumb and leave a loophole for net-negative policies, but holy shit:
"Net zero policy" means any policy, program, or initiative designed to achieve a balance between total amount of greenhouse gas emitted into the atmosphere with an equal amount removed from the atmosphere.
It literally is net-zero. Removing more CO2 than you emit is absolutely allowed.

The measure requires local governments to submit an affidavit annually to the state Department of Revenue verifying compliance. Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, signed the measure on April 22, Earth Day, and the law will take effect July 1. It states that “net zero policies, carbon taxes and assessments, and emission trading programs are detrimental to this state’s energy security and economic interests and inconsistent with the energy policy and the environmental policy of this state.”
Jesus this is bad policy. Let people find energy wherever they want.
