Politico reported August 30 that DeSantis rejected $350 million for so-called "energy efficiency incentives," more than $340 million for a program offering rebates to Floridians who replace their appliances with more energy-efficient ones, $3 million for pollution measures, and $24 million in infrastructure grants.

To the White House's chagrin, they are largely powerless to force Florida to accept the money, rejection of which undermines the administration's efforts to reshape states to fit with its green vision and ...Joe Biden's associated reelection talking point.

"So far, DeSantis is the only governor to signal that he will block the energy rebates," Politico noted. "But on the smaller sums of money, he has company. He's one of four to turn down pollution mitigation funding from the IRA. The others are the Republican governors of South Dakota and Iowa, and Kentucky's governor, who is a Democrat."

As covered by LifeSiteNews last year, the so-called Inflation Reduction Act has little to do with reducing inflation, but instead funds a broad range of unrelated left-wing causes, including the abortion industry and the enforcement activities of the Internal Revenue Service.

Writing for The Blaze, senior editor Daniel Horowitz called DeSantis the only governor "refusing to turn his state into a green dystopia," while most of his GOP counterparts, "who are addicted to corporate interests and federal funding, are eagerly and obsequiously gobbling up the federal funds."

"Although Republicans lack control of the Senate and the White House, ground zero for this battle—whether our freedom, prosperity, and way of life will be maintained—is actually in the red states," Horowitz said. "It is those states with supermajority Republican control that contain most of the landmass of this country needed to build this infrastructure. If Republican governors and legislatures would merely reject the federal funding for the Green New Deal—reminiscent of how they initially rejected Medicaid expansion under Obamacare—the green ‘transition' would be dead on arrival"...
