We know that power bills for ratepayers in Florida have escalated sharply in the last two years, and are scheduled for more of the same same in the next 4+ years. People are NOT happy, and have told FP&L AND Tallahassee just that. The push for increasing the state’s reliance on unreliable and expensive solar energy is behind the rate hikes AND, quite possibly, the closed hearings.

Social programs, especially those proven to be based on fallacies, have no place in provision of the basics of a civilized society. Yet, they do.
Another power provider, an 8-state utility, XCEL Energy, OPENLY spends $3 billion on LGBTQ and other “social programs” It is based in Minneapolis, MN. Surprise, surprise. It's victims, aka “customers”, are not happy, either. Kind of reminds me of the full-court press of Florida’s utilities for solar, another UNAgenda program.
Is Florida Power and Light also “enlightened”? Have they forgotten about actually lighting their customer’s lives for the best possible use of ratepayer dollars? Do they CARE if this is NOT what the people want? They are focused on a 10-year expansion of solar power for their customers in the state. That is the power of choice among the cabal of Globalists, as we know. Bringing society back into the literal dark ages is also one of their goals. It all fits.
Solar energy is very expensive, minimally useful, destroys open space and agricultural lands, AND presents a massive recycling problem down the road. Natural Gas, nuclear and even coal, are clean, less costly and MORE realable, according to energy experts. See my post on Florida’s energy future, here.
Solar Energy Expansion Is Robbing Floridians Of Money and Land
Monday, 8/11/2025, was to be Day One of public hearings on Florida Power and Light’s requested $10 BILLION rate increase request. Instead, the hearings were closed to the public. It is estimated by FP&L insiders that it will just take a week or two to reopen the hearings.
I must wonder how many decisions will have already been “set in stone” before this happens. This sounds as dark as a solar-panel-lit household at night, after old Sol goes to sleep.
According to the Tampa Free Press on Monday, “State regulators have paused a high-profile case concerning Florida Power & Light's (FPL) proposed base electric rate increases, following a Friday announcement by the utility and several parties that they had reached a "settlement in principle." At this writing, we still do not know what that “settlement” might contain.
“The public counsel, plus other groups advocating for residents, are not working on the potential settlement, and all opposed the motion to suspend the hearings.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, FP&L promises consumers will still get “due process”. With the epidemic of lawfare in these last years, why don’t I trust this?
This is key, I believe.
While “enlightened” people who run Xcel Energy in eight states - Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas and New Mexico - are openly spending $3.1 billion for Environmental and Social Governance, Florida Power & Light are closing their hearings, concerning their solar-stuffed future, to anyone on the outside. Outside of the Globalist agenda, that is.
It appears that Florida Power and Light is on that same “renewables” train along with other “social justice” warriors. Don’t forget their pledge in 2022: Net Zero by 2045. Did they close the hearings because they are afraid of the well-deserved blow-back about the costs and reliability of solar energy??? Is the Tallahassee cabal in concert with this, to hide the Globalist cloud overhanging the state?
People have come to expect destructive social programs from Leftist states, but not from a “red state” like Florida. People are learning, however.
With all the push for solar in the future plans for Florida energy provision, it would seem that the Sunshine State is just another group of Globalists, pushing for darkness.
Turning off the lights on the scheduled hearings, says a lot.
