More repudiation of your oh so lame 'I would think....'.

Remove the 'climate change is bullshit filter' from what passes for your brain and see what kind of accurate info is available to you. Don't do that, then continue to have your ass handed to you, on this board, on this subject, as it is on so many other subjects.

What he found was Babcock Ranch — only 12 miles northeast of Fort Myers, yet seemingly light years away.

Babcock Ranch calls itself “America’s first solar-powered town.” Its nearby solar array — made up of 700,000 individual panels — generates more electricity than the 2,000-home neighborhood uses, in a state where most electricity is generated by burning natural gas, a planet-warming fossil fuel.

The streets in this meticulously planned neighborhood were designed to flood so houses don’t. Native landscaping along roads helps control storm water. Power and internet lines are buried to avoid wind damage. This is all in addition to being built to Florida’s robust building codes.
