  12. Action Team Principal Conclusions • Based upon the findings of the IPCC, Florida’s resources, communities, and economy are expected to experience significant impacts if the current trajectory of global greenhouse gas emissions is not reversed; • Early action to address global climate change has significant energy security benefits for Floridians, while positioning the state to become a regional and hemispheric hub of green technology innovation and investment; • Energy efficiency, demand‐side management, and energy conservation present Florida with numerous opportunities to reduce energy costs, increase the buying power of Florida’s families, and make the state’s business sector more cost‐competitive in the global market; • Investments today in low‐carbon energy sources – renewables, nuclear power, and biofuels – will stimulate Florida’s economy and redirect current expenditures on imported fossil fuels toward Florida‐based energy sources retaining significant flows of money within local economies; • Market‐oriented regulations will efficiently guide a low‐carbon economy while protecting energy consumers, maintaining Florida’s agricultural competitiveness, and building more sustainable communities.
