The political winds in the Legislature, said the governor, don't make this a good time for the idea, despite the Deepwater Horizon spill now threatening the state.
"The Senate is more amenable than the House, although I’m trying with the House,''Crist said, according to the Herald's Naked Politics blog.
"The holdup in the House is that I think they pushed very hard previously to get drilling in the Gulf and maybe time will help bring them around to the view that isn’t such a wonderful idea given what has happened,'' he said.
Crist said he hopes a special session could consider new incentives to encourage renewable energy development in the state, "because I think more than ever it should be blatantly obvious that clean energy is the way to go."
