Duke just shafted me again last week. My bill says $178 but I continually get text messages and emails stating my rates have increased. Now it's up to $244 a month which is nearly a car payment. By next summer I'm going to be sitting here in my house sweating my @$$ off! I called to complain and all I got was, "my rates went up too" - I don't know about everyone else but I really don't care about what our customer service reps pay, I care about the shady behavior of my ONLY electric company. Why are they allowed to be monopolies? There's no competition so they just do what they want and gouge the crap out of consumers. We are paying for all of this data center/AI technology these tech giants are shoving down our throats - whether we want to or not.
If our blood-red conservative politicians don't do anything more to protect their citizens from these price increases, there may be many, including myself, who will consider leaving the Sunshine State. Also, expect to see fewer votes in the upcoming elections.
Pure greed!! And cronyism! We need to have a people’s voice in the state government..Time to turn off FPL’s monopoly and represent THE PEOPLE

You provided zero facts of the material provided the state regulators. Let alone inflation that has occurred since the last rate case.
For more details--a thorough examination of the facts-- please check out Jason Garcia's accompanying article that I linked to.
You would think the state owns a piece of FPL, given how generous they are with our money and all. It's terrible that FPL gets away with more greed.
