Fate of nuclear fee depends on disparate House, Senate bills

In this mention

Florida legislators debated two competing proposals to reform the controversial nuclear fee on utility bills. The Senate bill (SB 1472) would end the fee if utilities fail to obtain a Nuclear Regulatory Commission license, while the House bill (PCB 13-01) would allow utilities to continue collecting fees even if plants are never built. Susan Glickman of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, which advocates for alternatives to nuclear power, cautioned that the Senate bill's effectiveness depends on how rigorously the Public Service Commission reviews utility requests.
