DeSantis vetoes net metering bill leaving solar energy as is in Florida
ORLANDO, Fla. – A controversial invoice that will let utility corporations restrict how a lot photo voltaic prospects might promote their extra power again for has been vetoed.
Gov. Ron DeSantis vetoed HB 741, the web metering invoice, on Wednesday.

“Provided that the USA is experiencing its worst inflation in 40 years and that customers have seen steep will increase within the worth of gasoline and groceries, in addition to escalating payments, the state of Florida shouldn’t contribute to the monetary crunch that our residents are experiencing,” DeSantis wrote within the veto letter.
With photo voltaic panels, prospects decrease their power payments and may promote extra photo voltaic power again to utility corporations, a course of referred to as internet metering.
The invoice, which was proposed by Florida Energy and Mild and handed by the Republican-majority legislature, would over time scale back the sum of money photo voltaic prospects might promote that power again for, which might lead to increased payments for photo voltaic power prospects.
Since 2016, the variety of Florida households putting in photo voltaic panels has gone up 467%, totaling greater than 90,000 households.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — With two defenders closing in and a strained left hamstring to protect, Florida quarterback DJ Lagway’s only option was to step up and let it fly.
Lagway’s 36-yard completion to Elijhah Badger was a thing of beauty and arguably the most important play in Florida’s season. It set up Ja’Kobi Jackson’s 1-yard scoring run and put the Gators ahead for good in the fourth quarter of a 27-16 victory over suddenly reeling No. 21 LSU on Saturday.
“Elite play,” Florida coach Billy Napier said. “God blessed that young man.”
Lagway returned after missing most of Florida’s last two games and delivered enough clutch plays for the Gators to earn their first series victory since 2018.
Jadan Baugh’s 55-yard scoring scamper with 3:48 remaining essentially sealed it and put Florida (5-5, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) on the verge of becoming bowl eligible.
The Gators had dropped eight in a row against ranked opponents and were 1-10 under coach Billy Napier in rivalry games. But this was the kind of performance that has mostly eluded Napier during his three seasons in Gainesville.
“You’ve got to be a tough guy, and you got to be up for the challenge,” Napier said. “This group has proven they’re up for that. It’s harder than ever in my opinion. These guys could have pointed fingers and splintered a long time ago. That’s what I’m most proud of.”
LSU coach Brian Kelly had few answers following his team’s third consecutive loss. Cameras caught Kelly screaming at receiver Chris Hilton early — he seemed to call him uncoachable — and getting yelled at late by receiver Kyren Lacy.
“This is a simple exercise of do you want to fight or not?” Kelly said after the game. “Do you want to fight and take responsibility as coaches and players that we’re not playing well and we’re struggling right now? … There’s a rough spot here that we have to fight through and we have to do it together.”
Florida’s defense, played together and deserved every accolade. The unit sacked Garrett Nussmeier seven times — one more than LSU (6-4, 3-3) surrendered in its first nine games combined — and allowed just 16 points despite being on the field for 92 plays and more than 41 minutes.
It may have helped that last week’s 49-17 drubbing at then-No. 5 Texas was humbling and humiliating.
“We knew that wasn’t our brand of football that we played in Texas,” Florida linebacker Shemar James. “That left a bad taste that we had.”
The game started to turn in Florida’s favor when T.J. Searcy sacked Nussmeier late in the third quarter. Nussmeier fumbled, one of his linemen scooped it out of the air and then fumbled again. Caleb Banks recovered, one of several huge plays for the defensive tackle.
The Gators went backward from there despite the solid field position and ended up punting. But Jeremy Crawshaw pinned the Tigers inside the 10.
Florida then forced a punt and started another drive in LSU territory. This time, Lagway made the biggest play of the night.
“DJ, he’s a dude for sure,” James said. “He showed grit tonight. He came out and made pretty good throws and commanded the offense, and that’s what we were kind of missing. We’re very fortunate to have DJ on our team.”
The Takeaway
LSU: Kelly’s streak of 10-win seasons will end at seven. Kelly won double-digit games in each of his last four years at Notre Dame and extended it with consecutive 10-win seasons in Baton Rouge. But losing three in a row to Texas A&M, Alabama and Florida make it impossible to get past nine and will surely lower his approval rating with the team’s frustrated fanbase.
Florida: The Gators will have to win one of their final two games, against Ole Miss and at Florida State, to become bowl eligible for the second time in Napier’s three seasons. Florida is trying to avoid its fourth consecutive losing season.

2024 Sarasota Sharks Turkey Meet
- November 15-17, 2024
- Selby Aquatic Center, Sarasota, Florida
- Short Course Yards (25 yards), Timed Finals
- Results on Meet Mobile: “2024 SYS Turkey Meet”
The 2024 Sarasota Sharks Turkey Meet kicked off on Friday, with Canadian Olympic gold medalist Summer McIntosh turning heads with a new personal best time in a secondary event.
McIntosh won the 500 free on Friday evening in 4:35.74, about eight seconds slower than her personal best, and followed it on Saturday morning with a 2:08.86 win in the 200 breast.
That 200 breast time was her first time swimming the event in yards; she has a best of 2:27.23 in long course meters and 2:29.31 in short course meters.
McIntosh cemented her status as the world’s top female swimmer in Paris with gold medals in the 200 fly, 200 IM, and 400 IM and a silver in the 400 free, so her having a fast 200 breaststroke is not a huge surprise. Swimming a 2:08, though, at this point of the season, in a local club meet, was enough to catch attention. For perspective, the top 200 breaststroker in the high school class of 2025 (which is likely where McIntosh would have been if she had taken the traditional route) is Addie Robillard with a 2:08.40.
McIntosh just-missed Sabyne Brisson’s 2023 LSC Record of 2:08.34, done when Brisson was a freshman at Georgia Tech.
Given what McIntosh swam in the 500 free, it’s pretty easy to project that she has a 2:06 or 2:05 200 yard breaststroke in her – and that’s in what is probably her 9th or 10th best yards event.
In the 200 IM, where her breaststroke is most important, she split 37.53 en route to gold in the Olympic final. That was a ways behind the silver medalist Kate Douglass, who won the 200 breaststroke in Paris, but is comparable to the other non-breatstroke IMers like bronze medalist Kaylee McKeown (37.77) and Yi Yuting (37.37)
She is also scheduled to swim a 100 fly, 100 back, and 100 breast this weekend, which will fill out her career yards IMX score. She has no 100 yard back time, her best 100 yard breast is a 1:04.11 from this meet in 2022, and her best 100 yard fly time is a 51.10 from Winter Juniors East in December 2022.
The meet was mostly designed as a racing opportunity for Winter Juniors-and-below members of the Sharks team, along with a few other smaller local clubs, so most of the rest of Sarasota’s top swimmers did not compete. For example, McIntosh won the 500 free by more than 30 seconds and the 200 breast by almost 10.
McIntosh is scheduled to race in December at the Short Course World Championships in December, though, and this was McIntosh’s first racing since her triumphant Summer Olympic Games.
