We must stop this nonsense of making bad decisions and following them up with increases in rates and/or taxes. Allow me one example. The unemployment 'bank' is out of money in Florida. It is out of money for many reasons not the least of which is that they are paying unemployment to those who have QUIT work. Not laid off, mind you, QUIT. Our great legislators in Tallahassee respond by increasing over 1000% what business owners must pay for unemployment insurance (from a little over $8.00 per employee to over $100!). Does anybody know this? Of course not. Only those who own businesses and must put up with this idiocy. CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND ELECTING MARCO RUBIO WOULD BE A GOOD START.

It would stimulate the economy and job growth. I think a commitment freeze all tax and utility profit increases for the next 5 years would be a huge boom to employer and consumer confidence.

We can burn coal as cleanly as natural gas. With the federally mandated retrofit of Deerhaven II AND a new 220 megawatt coal fired plant, the resulting emissions would be at least 50% LESS than they are today. Some have projected 70%. But, we're going to burn trees. Oh...can't forget this....in an LCD screen 3 of the panels are made of cellulose. Does suppy/demand play in here or is that axiom suspended in this circumstance?

Revisit the new coal plant! We should only elect commissioners who will do that. My favorite thing to do is to reduce our energy dependence on TREES. Revisit the new coal plant!
