Florida Blocks Oil Drilling In The Everglades, For Now

Published by Smugglers Cove on January 20, 2020January 20, 2020

Original By: David Blackmon 

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis  opens in a new windowannounced on Wednesday that he had reached a deal with a private company to purchase Everglades acreage on which it had proposed to drill a wildcat well in an attempt to find oil.

That permit was initially declined by the state’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), but the state’s First District Court of Appeal  opens in a new windowoverruled that decision last February, sending it back to the DEP for further consideration.
