Critic says nuclear law change depends on PSC not being 'captive' to utilities
In this mention
The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy welcomed Governor Rick Scott's signature on SB 1472, legislation requiring utilities to annually demonstrate to the Public Service Commission their intent to complete nuclear projects. SACE executive director Stephen A. Smith cautioned that the bill's effectiveness depends on the PSC maintaining independence from utility influence, noting the governor's appointments to the commission remain concerning.
We remain concerned, however, that the governor's appointments to the Public Service Commission continue to be captive agents of the large power companies in Florida. This bill will not work if the Public Service Commission does not work.
Stephen A. Smith
