After Collecting 1.5 BILLION from FL Taxpayers, Duke Energy Will Not Build New Power Plant - But They Keep Every Penny

What a bunch of f'ing scum bags!!

Of course they will keep it. And I am sure they have some buddies in Washington that will be receiving some kick backs from this too.

I'm sure they do! Bastards!

But according to republicans you give everything to corporations and they do the right thing.....lol.....

When someone takes people's money and doesn't give them anything in return, isn't that usually called stealing?

But wait... we gave them 1.5 Billion... shouldn't we get our jerbs back?

As a bonus you get to keep the radio-active waste?

i live in the next county and this is major news around here.

they are also refusing to pay the same taxes for our county that the previous power company, whom they bought, used to pay.

The article says this borders on fraud, but it cleary crosses that line by a mile IMO

What's the word on the street AC? I'm sure I can guess, but since you're in the area.....

:blueomg:

LEVY county, get it?

you can bet the politicians pockets are lined as well.

If the Federal Government won't give them a permit, and won't tell them what they need to do to get a permit, what are they supposed to do?

Obama won't let anyone build any new energy plants. He wants this country destroyed. How can you blame this company when Obama is the one who won't let them build anything?

I'll take "give the money back" for $400....no wait wrong forum...

Gratitude for the pin!

Now there's an idea!

Rotten to the core was not meant for nothing.

Hey, elected clowns! Thanks for passing a law forcing Duke Energy customers to pay up to $1.5 billion in higher rates for a long proposed nuclear power plant in Levy County that will not be built.

And no, Florida customers, you're not getting any of that money back.

With the Levy project canceled, and the broken Crystal River plant now permanently closed, Duke appears to be exiting the nuclear power business in Florida. At least for the foreseeable future

Too bad we can't shut down Florida legislators just as easily. Especially those lawmakers who conjured up the 2006 law letting power companies charge advance fees to rate payers for high-priced and, yes, even ill-considered nuclear power projects.

Anti-capitalist from the get-go, the law also allows the same power companies to profit even when projects aren't built.

[/quote FLA gov is a crook ,co owner of tex rangers with gw bush , ceo of hci ,had to step down when 14 felonies and 1.7 billion in fines , hci who bill frist owned R_CONS suck

When I travel out of America they LAUGH at the USA , the elite LAUGH at usa people .

Of course they do, all the way to the bank. I don't think it's just Americans they laugh at though. Anyone not carrying the "elite" label is being made fun of. We're all ignorant bottom dwellers to them.

Proud of it!

that's a terrible injustice.

I live in Orlando, I used to have Progress Energy, recently it has been switched to dookie (Duke). Money grabbing ass holes. What are you going to do.

Well they better lower the people's rates then!!!

Duke settled with the Florida Public Service Commission saying it wouldn't raise base rates through the end of 2018.

I just don't understand why people vote, then complain about the system they participate in. The voting system has nothing to do with the american republic its for officers in DC, its federal.

If no one participated than 'that' system.. which is in place to validate the federal reserve government ...

It would be like Toys R US issuing money ...
irrelevant ..


But all you want to be apart of the Corporation cause you want the toys ..

Not even realizing the 'toys' are your own resources you voted away ...

Insanity ....

Same sorta thing happened in Maryland. Too lazy to look it up.

But the gist as I recall is that we paid 500 million for future equipment depreciation that was never put in place.

And they were arguing about getting the money back thru power rate cuts or slashing the depreciation rate at which BGE was paid.

Then they will force you to pay 2 times your average bill as a deposit if you are ever late. They hit me up for $500 because I was out of town and late paying for a few days.
I wish I could generate enough power to fire them.

reminds me of the shorham nuclear power plant on long island. bazillions of taxpayer dollars spent to build - then they decided not to activate it
