The training will give you the background and tools that you will need for effectively speaking out at the public hearing.

The training is June 20th, from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. at:

guessing we'll see one as well. After we had more rate hikes than I can count because of storms and hurricanes and let's not forget the taxpayer and rate payer funded Crystal River neuclear plant which built so poorly that to fix it would cost several millions more dollars of Duke energy's money and so they've decided to close it down. After raising my rates to help pay for it. Will I get a refund on that? I think not.

Every doubt you won't see a refund on that nuclear plant.

The greed is never-ending.
