Power Failure in the Sunshine State

Power Failure Sunshine State News: "A controversial push by Florida utilities to raise consumer rates to recoup the cost of renewable energy projects suddenly lost power in the final hours of the 2010 Legislature.
The end came when attempts to attach a measure to a House clean energy bill were withdrawn from the Senate floor.

“One more time, we’re going to delay the renewable energy bill,” said Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton, champion of the Senate renewable energy measure.

Meanwhile, a House bill that would allow for unregulated rate increases for some of the state’s largest investor-owned utilities never made it to the Senate floor."
