Florida’s energy market is regulated through federal guidelines and by the state’s Public Service Commission, but a “pre-emption” bill by Sen. Travis Hutson – R- St. Augustine, who chairs the Senate Regulated Industries Committee – would give the state regulatory control of “energy infrastructure” projects. Zac Cosner is an energy and climate policy advocate for the group Florida Conservation Voters. He said if passed, the bill would block localities from having a say on the “construction of new or the expansion, upgrading, or repair of existing energy infrastructure.” “This would probably be the biggest power grab by Tallahassee, by the state government, that I can think of,” said Cosner. “It would have completely broad scope and broad impact upon all manner of energy policy and the way in...

Omega-3s — Can You Take Too Much?

Image
As with nearly all nutrients that come in supplement form, overdose is theoretically possible. But most people get far too little; experts say too much is rare! In recent generations, Western diets have shifted to include more processed foods and less fish, leaving our bodies simultaneously prone to disease and deprived of a crucial weapon to fight it: omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fats bestow a cavalcade of essential benefits on our bodies, leading medical experts to push us to eat more seafood and consider taking omega-3 supplements. But for all the positive attention, its natural to worry about possible downsides. Are there any side effects to taking omega-3s? Can we take too much of them? Research suggests we shouldn’t be very concerned about eating too much omega-3. In fact, the vast majority of people are eating too little, not too much.
