“The Public Service Commission is rewarding FPL by allowing it to profit from decades of environmental damage they caused to Biscayne Bay,” said Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez, D-Miami, in a statement. “This is outrageous. At best, FPL looked the other way for decades and now that they’ve been forced to clean up their mess, the PSC has allowed them to put the … cost on to us. With every anti-consumer and anti-environmental decision from the PSC, it becomes more and more clear that the for-profit monopoly system we have benefits no one but utility shareholders.”
