The great state of FPL

welcome.gif Do you feel that your social life isn't quite what it ought to be? Do you work the online dating sites in vain, waiting for someone to click on that glam shot you had made at the mall?

If so, I suggest you apply for a job with Florida's Public Service Commission--the outfit that ostensibly regulates utilities in our name. You'll never be lonely again.

I understand they're hiring--the governmental affairs director and a chief adviser just stepped down. Two other advisers are on administrative leave.

You'll be invited to parties galore. Your BlackBerry will buzz so often with calls from FPL execs that you'll have to start blocking the ones who don't provide caviar at their picnics.

In fact, the sky's the limit. Drop a hint, and your wish is their command. It'll be up to you to draw your own line on ethics.

As they say down at the nuclear plant, "Par-TEE!"

FPL rips people off. Plain and simple. The electric utilities should be non-profit and should only be interested in the well being of it's customers. Executives making way to much money. Sure, some of the engineers need to be paid at least the market rate to keep them from going to work someplace else - they are needed. The executives can be replaced. There are probably thousands of financial experts that are unemployed. We could hire 3 very experienced accountants for what the CFO is paid and probably 4 for what FPL's CEO is paid. What the heck makes them worth all that money? And by the way, why doesn't FPL invest in wind energy or solar energy. Why aren't there wind energy generating machines or solar panels on the roof of the FPL buildings?
