[NukeNet] Urgent: Important: Florida specific action needed!

[Minimushomines at aol.com]

Dear All,
for a clean environment.
 
This past Saturday, December 8th, an e-mail was circulated asking  people to 
send comments to the Florida Public Service Commission objecting to  the PSC's 
making of a rule that would accommodate utilities pre  charging ratepayers 
for the cost of siting, design, licensing, and  construction of an IGCC power 
plant". (coal burner).
 
I urgently ask people to NOT  ONLY object to the use of this method of  
financing IGCC coal plants but also object to  the use of this type of financing 
for nuclear power plants as  well. 
 
NO Coal NO Nukes until every effort for efficiency/conservation and  clean 
renewable's is exhausted!
 
Objecting to coal only could be used by the utilities to suggest people are  
not concerned with using this method for nuclear. They would say  that!!!
 
Unless your pro coal and/or pro nuclear (as I know some members of one of  
the groups listed below are) and like this type of financing please object  to 
it all. 
 
The PSC makes rules for already existing laws. The nuclear "pre-pay funding  
law and PSC rule were past and developed as a result of the 2006 legislative  
session and are already on the books. The IGCC coal law is on the books as 
well.  It was added during the last, 2007, Florida legislative session. So  now 
the rule making process for IGCC proceeds.
 
It is good to participate in this process and object but the most  effective 
action will require people contacting their legislators to  have these laws 
repealed, during the 2008 legislative session, before the  utilities can take 
advantage of them and ultimately us. 
 
The two nuclear reactors proposed for the turkey point expansion  (south of 
Miami) would be built and FP&L customers charged  for them under this law 
wether the project was finished or not. Other  plants throughout the State could 
follow.
 
So please go to the link below and in  your own words object to all prepaid 
dirty power plants  and while your at it may I ask that you inquire as to why 
the Florida  Legislature and PSC have overlooked developing such a prepaid 
program  for the financing of efficiency/conservation and clean renewable's.....  
first.

Also, important, the e-mail I received requesting people object to  the IGCC 
only was sent to the groups listed below. I don't have access  to these groups 
but if you do please forward this appeal to them. I  doubt if many of them 
want to inadvertently support nukes and prepay for  polluters.
