Stop wasting energy and/or put solar panels on every roof top.
California is supposed to be the "sunshine state", isn't it ?


California has a HUGE range of weather that varies greatly with
location. Don't like the weather? Move 30 miles. From snow in the north
to Death Valley in the south. OK, not too many tornados!


Not even close. Florida is "The Sunshine State". That's clean on the
other side of the country. California is "The Golden State". Although
I have to admit when I used to have to travel there on business a lot it
was more like horse**** than gold.


Speaking of FL, it should be called "The Lightning State".

Google LIGHTNING FREQUENCY MAP

and the first hit will be

... Check it out ...

I can't speak for others, but personally, I have even less interest in
Florida than I do in California.
What are Florida's two biggest imports? Old people and Cubans.

It's a good place to launch rockets into space from. The reason is that
the tangential speed of the Earth due to its rotation gets higher as
you approach the Equator. And this extra speed saves you fuel compared
to more northern locations.


Making southern Texas up to 2 degrees of latitude better. And whole
bunches of places outside the US even better. So, what was it about
Florida that makes this valuable?
