I live next door to the proposed new plant and have lived here for 50 years and have only seen 2 Fl panthers!

“How do we stop this?”

Get off of NorthEscambia.com and get rid of your computer. Turn off your lights. Unplug your TV. Wash your clothes in the river. Start reading by candlelight.

As long as you use electricity, it has to be generated somewhere.

It’s all about control….the model of the World Economic Forum is “you will own nothing and be happy”….it comes from a grounding in environmental extremism which is bent on high energy costs, government confiscation of farms and suppression of dissent in the supposed purpose of saving the planet.
(don’t believe me? Look at the Canadian freedom convoy) and the complete trashing of the January 6 protesters due process rights. More to the point FPL is a rabid left wing company hell bent on the continual increasing of rates to levels that essentially will impoverish us all.
I find it hard to believe those solar farms don’t have an even more negative economic impact and environmental impact than coal fired or traditional power production models. Give me back my cheap coal power plants!

I just don’t care any more.. they can strip mine this whole area. No one can stop it, no one can do anything about it but complain, and the prices keep going up, that’s fine… when all of their customers can no longer pay bills and they start losing money the rates will go down.. if not, start investing in your own solar power and let them sue you, drag it out in court for a few years… the whole time you have power you’re not paying to FPL. It is really that simple.

This property that is about to be leveled in an effort to “save the planet” has one the heaviest populations of gopher tortoises that I have ever seen. It also has a resident population of Florida panthers. If for no other reason than this the project should at least be delayed to verify I am correct. To date no such research has been performed on any of the solar facilities that were recently erected. Every indigenous species on which these facilities are built will be killed by heavy equipment or displaced and compacted to surrounding areas and more than likely starve to death. If any of the animal rights groups have ever had a cause worthy of doing this would be there opportunity. This would be one project that both sides could agree on.

North Escambia ran a story on the construction of a nuclear power plant on these lands ten years ago. June 13, 2013

My question is….if solar panels permit customers to not use electricity and therefore not be billed, then I suspect the same goes for FPL and they are still billing customers and raising prices on a regular basis. What do you think?

Solar farms are much more efficient and have significantly less environmental impact than natural gas/petroleum/coal.

FPL is a company. They answer to stakeholders and it is in their best interest to maximize profits by increasing rates as much as possible. That basic capitalism.

The Green New Deal didn’t pass. I don’t know why people insist on blaming everything wrong with our country on something that doesn’t exist.
