Courts let citizens take on nuclear-power giants

In this mention

An op-ed by two Tallahassee attorneys argues that Florida citizens should have access to courts to challenge unprecedented nuclear rate increases imposed by utilities FPL and Progress Energy Florida under a 2006 law. The authors defend the right of customer advocates and local governments to litigate against utility rate hikes in the Florida Supreme Court, citing the lack of legislative and regulatory oversight of nuclear cost recovery.
