Dont worry about FP&L and the grid infrastructure. The Obama administration gave them and other big power comanies MONEY to improve the grid. I guess Charlie is hearing choice words from Jeb Bush. From the Amelia Island convention in 2000 where Commissioner Lila Jaber MEETS with Jeb and FP&L, Florida Power and Southern at an ex parte meeting…Well, Jeb killed the Walter Revell Energy 2020 committe from printing their report for MERCHANT PLANTS. That is , competitors with their own money will pay for smaller plants with investors’ money.
Anytime FP&L decides we should have blackouts, we can go back to that.
Otherwise, all those subsidiaries like wind getting record profits, they could sell if they “cant pay their bills.”
I guess Charlie Crist got enough money from these billion dollar companies, FP&L did feel they had it in the bag.

Well, so much for improving the grid’s infrastructure. Hope we don’t have any hurricanes in the next few years; power will be out for a while.

Maybe Senator Baker and the GOP should take a lesson on raising their money like FPL did – not the way they do it now.
