>Putting radioactive phosphogypsum in roads would let the fertilizer industry off the hook for safely disposing of the millions of tons of dangerous waste it creates each year while generating another cash stream for industry giants, the release stated.
As usual, this is Republicans sacrificing public safety for corporate profit.
It’s genius. Prepare for the future. Florida will be pioneers in genetic mutations that tolerate radioactivity. They’ll finally have a statistic that makes them look favorably.
>ORLANDO, Fla. — Conservation groups across the Southeast United States are urging Gov. DeSantis to veto a bill that would allow the use of radioactive fertilizer waste in road construction across the state.
>The bill passed by legislators permits the use of toxic phosphogypsum in “demonstration” road projects in Florida. Critics said this is the first step in a phosphate industry push to eventually use the waste in roads nationwide.
>The Environmental Protection Agency prohibits using the toxic phosphate waste in roadway construction because it poses an unacceptable risk to road construction workers, public health and the environment.

Everything is radioactive. This is a story crafted to appeal to people who don’t understand basic science.
Of course the story has zero details on what the actual issue is.
