Another rate increase, well I think the one they just got is more than enough, Southern Co. is a very clever operation, they change out meters if your electric bill is too low........

Take the plant somewhere else far from here. Along with why should we pay to help them start something that is dangerous for us? They get enough money as it is. They should NOT be approved to build a nuclear plant. Horrible idea to build a nuclear plant in the town. Take the plant somewhere else far from here.

Why dont they build their nuck plant in their own service area? becouse their customers would raise hell.

The bridge is built funded by the tax payers and own by the tax payers. If the bridge is built by a private consortium then it becomes a toll bridge and a toll is charged to the users of the bridge to pay for the bonds that raised the moneys for the construction. If Gulf Power intendeds to build a power plant be it nuclear or not then they should show investors how the plant would make them a profit on their investment. This raises the question why aren’t there any investors willing to invest in this plan…because there is no plan.

But they should pay for it themselves. They have the cash. Stop the CEO bonuses and raises like any other company that wants to expand and I bet that more than makes up the 2 million a year for the cost of their facilitiy, nuclear or otherwise. You CAN'T just get your customers to pay for something YOU want. Seems like they are thinking like a MONOPOLY business now. A business expands with their OWN savings plan in my book. I haven't EVER had to go into my own savings until all this recent rising inflation. I won't back down on signing any petitions or support to ban a pay hike. Whether a new plant helps us or not, this is Gulf Power's ambition, not ours. I think they should have their power plant, sure. But they should pay for it themselves. They have the cash.

Keep the trust of the public that you serve. Maybe the State of Florida should hold the deed to this land purchased by the consumers and then leased it back to Gulf Power in order to offset the purchase price by the way of lower power rates. If Gulf Power does not prove that they intended to build a power plant then the land would become a state recreation area for all to use. PSC continue to hold strong.

Until this plan is in place and approved by the powers to be then all this land would be is private hunting grounds for the CEO and friends paid for by the consumers. Let’s get real here Gulf Power needs to get off the stick and do the due diligence and produce the documentation that proves their indented use of this property. The consumers should not have to pay for something that will not benefit them. What happens if later Gulf power decides to sale this property after the consumers buy it for them will we all see a cut of the pie or is that all Gulf Power profit? Inquiring minds what to know… The original reasons given by the PSC for not allowing Gulf Power to pass this cost to the consumer was that Gulf Power did not have a plan in place to even build a power plant let alone a nuclear power plant.

This effort might well make the area a key player in power generation, hiring of citizens and reducing the enviromental damage done by coal fired generation.

When the chair changes the old CEO would move out and the new CEO and family would move in. This would help show us ignorant folks that there is no danger from nuclear power.
