C.W. you are correct. No big company is going to put millions into supporting anything unless they are going to gain something from the investment to help their bottom line. In my view today, most companies of this size are just legal crooks. I know people will disagree with me and that is fine but from what I seen in my whole career as a professional is the total greed of company leaders at whatever cost it takes. I can give examples but I really should not have to if you just look closely.

I wonder which rate increase which the power companies desperately needed to keep power going to their customers paid for all those millions into lobbyist pockets?

VOTE NO on Amendment 1. The utility companies want to keep the MONOPOLY on energy. Solar is freely available to all and it scares them that the investment costs of solar is now becoming affordable for the common user. The power companies will lose a vast number of customers who will no longer be dependent on them.

Kind of like the corner dealer doesn’t want their addicts to get free methadone. VOTE NO!

D.W. – couldn’t agree with you more. I also wish Jake was here but someone blew him up on his way to Atlanta, because he was going to testify about the political kickback schemes of the Southern Mafia.

c.w. is absolutely correct! Florida is lagging way behind in solar capability because of the energy lobby supported by Gulf Power and FL Power & Light. Florida sunshine is going to waste.

@ c.w.

You are Right On with your comment.
Wouldn’t it be GREAT if these A-1 supporters used all those millions for something good for the people like helping to rebuild Century’s tornado damage?

Voted NO on Amendment-1….

You can bet the farm on the fact that if utility companies like gulf power are supporting amendment 1, it’s not to help the consumer. It’s pure greed by the power co. same as always! Wish Jake was here!
