Yes the rates are approved by the state of Florida, not the federal government, and the power commission is loaded with Rick Scott appointees. Progress Energy customers are being forced to pay for repairs to the nuclear reactor, which has been shut down for two years, and also for a new nuclear plant which may or may not ever be built. Read The St Pete Times for in depth articles on this debacle.
