Our local government should not allow Gulf Power to increase our rate. The economy is working too hard against families. We vote for them to represent the people. Huge power bills are 1 of the things killing our ability to prosper.

My question is could they be purchasing yet more property for the site, such as the south side of Roach Rd. I’d like to have the option of getting “far” away if they build nuclear! We offered to sell to them before they ever bought the first parcel, but they had no interest in property south of Roach rd. My 40 is for sale but the price has gone up should they change their minds!

I still think if they are planning a plant there they need to file permits for plans, etc. before they give them money. That is what every other business and private person has to do….why is Gulf Power different? And don’t say because they are a utility! Don’t get me wrong…they do a great job of keeping our power on during storms and getting it back on…I am not against them. I just think everyone should have to follow the same rules.

I take comfort in the finite as I know these blood suckers will not continue on for eternity.

To life and the necessary evils that make us ohhh so comfortable.

Jane, They want to get approval from the PSC for the extra charge toward the new plant. Once they get the approval, it is much easier to raise it up. It is a ploy of politicians, low ball going in, then sock it to them later.

Maybe I am missing something here…decrease rates then increase rates? i understand what they are doing but I don’t understand the logic.
