Anti-Coal Policies Causing Florida Electricity Rate Hikes
Duke Energy seeks nearly $2 million in Florida electricity rate hikes to pay for a new power plant made necessary by environmental restrictions. The electricity rate hikes became necessary as environmental restrictions force the closing of two coal power plants providing Floridians with inexpensive electricity.

Aided by $10 million in campaign spending by billionaire liberal activist Tom Steyer, the Charlie Crist campaign is hammering Gov. Rick Scott for not imposing still more stringent power plant restrictions, above and beyond those imposed by the federal government. Steyer and Crist say Florida should impose state-specific power plant restrictions that would close more coal power plants in an effort to fight global warming. Others, however, point out that Florida accounts for just 1 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and any costly reductions in Florida emissions will have no discernible impact on global temperatures. Global temperature measurements show there has been no global warming during the past 17 years.
