Historically, we have lived in a nation of energy dependence. Dependence on others for our heating and electricity, and for our fuel for transportation.

Across the nation, the demand for energy and transportation fuel is outpacing supply. Florida must act now to protect the state's growing economy and quality of life.

When it comes to reforming the way our skies are regulated, we must be certain that as we work to solve specific problems, we do not create others.

Prices for all kinds of heating -- natural gas, fuel oil, electricity and propane -- have all risen since last year. But thanks to a warm winter and higher inventory levels, the price of natural gas is continuing to decline. We're pleased to pass along these savings to our customers in Miami-Dade, Brevard, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties.

We as a society have to start figuring out how to do things without using fossil fuel energy. Some of those things we can start doing now.

It is in our interest to crush ISIS, terrorist groups like the al-Nusra front and Ahrar ash-Sham, and Iran's puppet Assad.
