Why don’t we use the $84k to pay off the Hurricane Sally utility’s reserve fund and the Hurricane Michael recovery charges??? That would save me $11.00 a month!!! Right now Gulf Power customers are paying $206 million for Hurricane Sally costs and you are giving money away. You are a power company that is responsible for generating power for customers, not a charity. Stick to your mission and stop giving money away that you do not have!!! Seems like FPL keeps spending money and our bills keep going up!!! FPL should be spending their dollars in the most effective and efficient manner possible as a fiduciary for each customer instead of giving it away. ===Previous comments regarding Solar Farms=== How much will this increase my monthly bill? Why don’t we use the money for the solar farm to pay off the Hurricane Sally utility’s reserve fund and the Hurricane Michael recover charges??? That would save me $11.00 a month!!! Right now Gulf Power customers are paying $206 million for Hurricane Sally costs and you are spending how much on a solar farm??? Seems like FPL keeps spending money and our bills keep going up. FPL should be spending their dollars in the most effective and efficient manner possible as a fiduciary for each customer instead of trying to duplicate the New Green Deal!!! How much will this increase my monthly bill?

I love gopher tortoises but people are more important! Side note: as part of Gulf Power's natural gas pipeline and now the solar panel farm, they had to insure the safe relocation of gopher tortoises in those construction areas. That seems like plenty of monitoring to me. I wonder how much money they've already spent on gopher tortoises, that could've been used to benefit homeless folks.
