Was going to say ‘good luck’ to the governor as ‘big sugar’ and snowbird development is to blame for the algae bloom and getting any of the above to pump their brakes will not be easy.
Algae isn’t coming from Lake Okeechobee. It’s coming from the overdevelopment of the coastlines. People living around Lake Okeechobee blame the mouse house for what travels downstream and pollutes their lake. Lake Okeechobee shut off its outflow last summer to prove it wasn’t the cause of the algae bloom. Stop blaming the cows and ranchers for everything and realize that you have created these problems on the coastline by overdevelopment and poor infrastructure of your sewer lines.
No it’s not entirely the fault of farmers and ranchers. The sources of the polluted water are many but you’re flat wrong to state that polluted water in Okeechobee in not originating in central Florida. The lake and the everglades has always been a natural basin for the water runoff from central Florida. The primary issue is that there is too much polluted water entering the lake and the primary exit points (the Caloosahatchee River and St. Lucie canal) were not part of the natural flow of the lake. The coastline ecosystems at the mouth of the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie Rivers weren’t created to handle this type of water flow. I would agree that ecosystems on the Florida coastline weren’t created to handle the population growth either.
I had a feeling this would happen sooner or later. Products recall of pot !

Save the Algae for the Democrats. They think they can make gasoline out of it.
Why would they want to make gasoline when they push ‘elecricars’ on everyone?
