FPL, regulators must stop tritium leak now
South Florida’s drinking water under threat
Editor’s note: The Press Journal and TCPalm.com, whose publisher is married to an FPL vice president, have yet to report on the utility giant’s $1.337 rate increase request now before the PSC. The newspaper and online site have also yet to report on other issues facing FPL, issues that could further impact rates.

The discovery of dirty water contaminated by tritium leaking into Biscayne Bay from the cooling canals at the Turkey Point nuclear plant is the clearest sign yet that FPL and state regulators are doing a poor job of protecting the public.
At this point, there is no reason to panic. But the discovery confirmed by a study represents a sharp indictment of the safety regulation system and deserves the full attention of the utility and government officials at every level — now.
The canary in the coal mine is dying, an alarming sign that something is very wrong and that much worse may be ahead unless corrective action is taken immediately.
