Nuclear vs. Green

FPL plans to build 2 new nuclear reactors and have us  pay for them... Good for FPL, bad for us.

FPL's Plan...

  • Ensures best profits for shareholders, but...
  • Doubles the rate of childhood leukemia
  • Increases rate payers' costs
  • Endangers our bay and national park
  • Consumes water we can't afford to waste
  • Is prone to toxic radioactive leaks
  • Takes a decade to come online
  • Blocks the way for real solutions

A Better Way...

  • Safe, clean and sustainable energy
  • Saves us money
  • Saves our water
  • Protects our national parks:  Everglades and Biscayne Bay
  • Technology is here now, and rapidly improving
  • Brings tens of thousands of green jobs
  • Boosts the economy
  • Can Produce All the Energy We Need
