Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will speak Thursday at a climate change conference in Miami hosted by Florida Gov. Charlie Crist.
Schwarzenegger is expected to discuss how California and other states can help the country reduce its dependence on oil and increase use of alternative fuels.
Schwarzenegger has worked with Crist on climate change issues in recent years, though the two coastal governors disagree on whether the federal government should lift a moratorium on offshore oil drilling.
Schwarzenegger thinks the ban should remain intact, a position Crist shared until reversing course earlier this month and supporting offshore oil exploration.
Crist said he switched positions because gas prices are hurting Floridians. Of course, Crist also had political incentive to change his mind. Presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain supports lifting the offshore oil ban, and Crist is considered a potential vice presidential pick for McCain.
