While I seem to get involved in a lot of issues around the Country, it may have been noticed that I have stayed somewhat quiet in Florida about the dueling ballot amendments. While the solar groups have gotten framed into a false debate, their comeback today is great. Asking the utility backed groups to help the conservative energy groups get rid of Florida’s biggest corporate subsidy, early cost recovery for nuclear power plants. Florida ratepayers essentially loan the money to IOU shareholders with no recourse and also provide a costless hedge for natural gas costs long into the future. An interesting move for sure, let’s see where it goes.
