It is time that we say "No" to FPL making profits off of our need for electric. I have looked for ways to cut my electric or go solar but FPL has us by the you know what. I can live without alot of things but my family and animals need air conditioning to survive in South Florida.
According to the FPL website FPL.com.;
According to the FPL website FPL.com.;
" for the full year 2008, FPL Group reported net income on a GAAP basis of approximately $1.64 billion, or $4.07 per share, compared with $1.31 billion, or $3.27 per share, in 2007". That is NET income!
Also on the FPL investors site it states, "We are pleased to report that 2008 was our best year ever, which is something we doubt very many companies can say." And, their future outlook is "FPL group is well positioned for earnings growth in future years".
ANYONE ELSE HAD ENOUGH??? ANYONE ELSE OUTRAGED???

It is time that Floridians have a non-profit utility company! FPL is making millions of dollars in profits off of a necessity while Floridians are losing their homes daily. At what point did legislators decide that companies should profit from necessary public services??? We have ONE viable choice for electric and unfortunately we need air conditioning for our families and pets. Recently FPL acknowledged that contributions from cusomers earmarked for new energy sources was used for other things.
STOP FOR PROFIT MONOPOLIES! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

This company sucks!!! I thought corporate monopolies were supposed to be illegal. In this economy, all this company cares about is gauging more money from people who cannot afford it and they're so quick to shut you off if you're late. Their idea of a payment extension is a whopping 24 hours and their security deposit requirements are, again, nothing more than gauging. When you call them, they give a poor ass excuse that "it's all controlled by a computer". Well, don't people have to input information into a computer in order for the computer to function?! In addition, they want continuous increases in their already astronomical rates. I think they are the only company in the State of Florida who hasn't had to lay anyone off from their job. Wonder why that is?! Lastly, we are stuck with them because there is no competition.

I'm in the military any every other state I have lived in has multiple elctricity companies giving the consumer the power to choose. By not having any other choice but to have FPL whom are they competeing with? I too had to pay a ridiculous deposit. Which FPL in turn gains interest off your deposits. Where is my choice, why must I have to choose FPL!?

I have signed up for the automatic bill payment and one month I did not have enough money in the bank account. They automatically terminate my enrollment and let another 2 months pass by unpaid without me being aware of it. I found out when my power was turned down and I paid the bill immediately. I re-enrolled for the auto-payment but they did not apply it for the first month,so I ended up with being another month late. As a result, I received a request for an extra deposit of $574. Am I paranoid or is this a deliberate strategy for inflating the bottom line by abusing the customers?

Florida Power & light is requiring a $500 deposit if you are late even once on you account. $500 are they crazy. I'm a fulltime student and father of three this is outragous. We have been customers for 11 years and now they want a non refundable deposit. Are they completely oblivious to the current state of our ecnomy and how some people are just hanging on. They are a monopoly, they need to be stopped and I'm goint to start looking into this and I am going to start writing letters to the governors office. I am adding a link to this site fro my blog political Java |

All I'm going to say is that I am looking for some good attoneys. No one is invincible and neither is a no good company praying on those in need or struggling to make it in this economic climate. If you know any lawyers with the balls or want to help me please contact me at dancesweet21@yahoo.com.

FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ONLY ONE DAY LATE PAYING THEIR BILL. I WAS BILLED 350.00 DEPOSIT AFTER PAYING MY ACCOUNT ON THE PHONE AFTER 6PM. THE PAYMENT DID NOT POST TO MY ACCOUNT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO WAY TO GET OUT OF THE DEPOSIT. IN THESE TOUGH ECONOMIC TIMES FOR CONSUMERS THE GUIDELINES MUST BE CHANGED. WE DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA 350.00 FOR FPL , THE MONTHLY BILL IS ENOUGH
