We have just a week to stop Florida Power and Light's (FPL) rate hike request for unnecessary power plants that burn fracked gas.
On November 29, the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC) will decide whether to allow the rate hike requested by FPL, which includes more than one billion dollars' worth of power plants that will soon be obsolete as FPL itself expects solar power and batteries to out-compete plants that burn gas.
As FPL showed by spending millions of dollars to support Amendment 1 and thwart the growth of rooftop solar, FPL will stop at almost nothing to put its profits before people -- whether it's stunting the clean energy economy in the Sunshine state, or needlessly increasing the state's reliance on fracked gas. Fortunately, Florida voters saw through the charade last week and voted down Amendment 1.
Don't let FPL put its profits ahead of your health, our economy and the environment.
Call the PSC today at 1-800-342-3552to let them know you oppose FPL's rate hike request for unnecessary gas plants.

A group of people have been gathering every Friday night with hateful signs, shouting hate speech, particularly against LGBTQ individuals, outside several noted LGBTQ and Friendly establishments.
The Democrats put up a terribly flawed candidate instead of a true Progressive (Bernie), and they were destroyed in the general election. There's plenty of blame to go around, but Debbie Wasserman Schultz deserves most of it.
