In 2006, the GOP controlled legislature, at the behest of an army of utility
lobbyists and their wads of campaign cash, passed a law allowing utility
companies to charge customers upfront for the future construction of nuclear
plants, even if they don’t actually build one. And get this, now that Duke
Energy has finally declared that they won’t be building any new nuclear plants,
we don’t get any of our money back. Even more absurd, we’re going to continue to
pay Duke Energy $108 million dollars a year for the cancelled nuclear plants. Join us this Saturday, September
28th at 10:30 am in downtown St. Petersburg in front of Duke Energy
of Florida headquarters and tell them, and the politicians and regulators in
their back-pocket, “enough is enough!” It’s time to tell Duke Energy, their bought
and paid for elected officials in leadership, and the so called “Public Service
Commission” to stop ripping us off.
