Florida energy bill focused on natural gas could benefit TECO
In this mention
A Florida bill (SB 1128) that would prevent local governments from banning natural gas in new buildings could benefit Tampa Electric's sister company, Peoples Gas. Susan Glickman, Florida director for the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, opposes the measure, arguing it locks in gas infrastructure and perpetuates dependence on fossil fuels. The bill strips municipalities of their ability to require carbon-neutral energy sources in new construction.
It's really imposing and putting gas infrastructure in place to keep us essentially addicted to gas
