Only about 15 percent of Florida's power comes from non-carbon sources, and 12 percent of that is nuclear. 26 percent of your power comes from coal.

Natural gas is cheap and plentiful now because some "crazies" went out and developed new processes for getting it. The actual crazies are trying to kill that industry.

I'm assuming you don't do a lot of driving any more.

The real Galt's Gulch had its own power generators. Maybe you should be shopping for solar?
