Dang.
You can thank fossil fuel friendly Republicans for that Eddy P:
Nope, a portion of my electric every month is solar powered. In
winter,
I lose a few bucks, in summer and longer daylight, I get it back.
Same overall cost, no fossil fuel for that portion.
I am referring to Florida's overall low electric rates.
Your personal sourcing inventory is unknown to me.
"AI Overview
Florida's residential electricity rates are
relatively low compared to many other large states due to its heavy
reliance on natural gas and a regulatory environment that has avoided
certain costly climate-mandated grid transitions.
Key Reasons for Lower RatesNatural Gas Reliance:
Florida increased its natural gas power generation from 50% to roughly
75%, taking advantage of the domestic shale revolution to keep fuel
costs competitive.
Regulatory Approach:
The state has largely avoided the expensive
renewable infrastructure and complex climate policies that drive up
operational and grid costs in states like California and Texas.
Affordable Generation Mix:
Traditional baseload power sources have remained a
priority for state regulators, helping maintain lower baseline
generation expenses. "
