TECO Propaganda

TECO repeatedly cites their 2023 coal burning projection, artfully ignoring that the 10-plan that TECO filed with the Florida Public Services Commission just last month calls for future coal burning that vastly exceeds even 2019 levels. As a Public Utility TECO violates the Public Trust when they mislead the public about their plans for coal burning

TECO is not getting rid of coal

TECO has been acting like they are and using misleading stats in the process to make it seem like they are. They have been citing their energy mix for 2023, when they will be at a low for coal usage. HOWEVER, they plan to increase coal usage from 2024-2027. They will be burning nearly as much coal in 2027 as they did in 2018. HERE

Florida's Culture Of Corruption: In-group and Out-group

Anyone who has attempted to expand the rooftop solar industry has been ostracized. The reason, Florida’s largest utilities have invested heavily in state political campaigns to fend off competition. 

Campaign records show utility companies have sunk $12 million into the campaigns of state lawmakers since 2010.

That money comes from the bills paid by customers of the state’s four largest utilities — Duke Energy, Gulf Power, Florida Power & Light and Tampa Electric.

The recipient of the most utility money since 2010 is Gov. Rick Scott’s 2014 reelection campaign, which took in more than$1.1 million. here

Florida's Corporate Service Commission

on Tuesday approved proposals to gut Florida's energy-efficiency goals by more than 90 percent and to terminate solar rebate programs by the end of 2015, giving Duke Energy Florida, Tampa Electric and Florida Power & Light virtually everything they wanted. here

TECO Going Solar

Tampa International Airport and Tampa Electric Co. today announced an agreement to install a canopy of solar panels on the top floor of the airport's south Economy Parking Garage. here

COOL, GREAT JOB TECO - TIA

Florida used to be the No. 1 producer of solar energy in the nation

Currently we're 18th

Over the years utilities have grossly influenced the 

Public Service Commission. Florida's largest utilities — 

Florida Power & Light, 

Duke Energy Florida 

and Tampa Electric

want to reduce conservation goals by more than 90 percent and have attacked solar as unreliable and costly. A new coalition will push for increased use of renewable energy in Florida. here

TOOL: I Am GOP Ritch Workman Of Melbourne

Florida Senate committee on Tuesday approved a constitutional amendment for the November ballot that would give tax breaks to businesses that install

Solar panels,

but it is unlikely to come before voters:

The chairman of a powerful House committee believes

the solar industry isn't ready for it.

 Mr. Workman's attitude is more proof of the clout of Florida's electric utilities, which view rooftop solar as the beginning of the end of their

monopoly control over Florida's energy market.
