Florida Power & Light has one unhappy and very famous customer.
Donald Trump excoriated the for-profit utility on his popular Twitter feed Tuesday, writing: “In my opinion, one of the worst utility companies in the country is Florida Power and Light.”
Trump’s complaint? He explained in a subsequent tweet — and telephone interview with Miami Herald — that he was displeased with the condition of the utility poles around the Doral golf resort he bought for $150 million last year, especially near a stately new sign. The resort is in the midst of a significant upgrade, and Trump threatened to sue FPL if the poles outside don’t get better, too.
“Florida Power & Light has disgusting rotting utility poles outside Doral in Miami,’’ Trump, an avid and outspoken user of social media, wrote to the 2.3 million followers of @realDonaldTrump. “They should put in new ones or be sued.”

Wow, are the poles “out of bounds”?
Wow, we have been told that FPL is the best in the state. I guess they are not perfect,but you would not know it by the news reports from the press journal and the island weekly. Both would have you believe that FPL is the best thing since sliced bread. According to The Donald , this is not the case. Who do you believe?
I was working this week with a gentleman fromthe west coast of florida who said to me, and I quote, “My wife works for FPL, I heard that they are buying your electric system, you don’t want that to happen”. Exact words.
