TAMPA â A push backed by the Sierra Club and other environmental groups to have Floridaâs third-largest city run on 100 percent renewable energy by 2030 has suffered a blow as the council member sponsoring a resolution to that effect has withdrawn it.
Joseph Citro introduced the non-binding resolution in November, but agreed to delay it until March.
