A law like this may have unintended consequences. |
I don't think there's any conflict at all between what the hurricane center was saying and what we're saying. |
I understand that this has been very frustrating to the officials at the city, but we're just waiting to make sure that we have everything completed. If indeed there is a difference, we will resolve that and pay back if it's on our side of the house to do so. |
If there are more intense storms in these hurricane cycles, well, essentially we need a reserve that is going to be able to take care of one or two or three storms. |
It is a significant hardening of the infrastructure. It is a recognition that - from everything the experts are saying - that the forecasts are for more intense storm seasons, (which) has made us rethink what we need to do. |
It's a little bit higher than usual. |
Most cities are very responsible in doing that. |
So we will be adding that to our billing records. |
These are the steps we feel, strongly, need to be taken if what we're facing is a new paradigm in hurricane activity. |
To continue on a track to increase the number of plants we have that are gas perhaps is not the wave of the future. |
Today the FPL family is saddened, and is really mourning. |
We can understand their frustration. Certainly this kind of reconciliation takes time. But in the end, you will be reconciled. You will be made whole. |
We don't get involved in that. |
We fully support an 8-year cycle as well. If the commission feels an 8-year cycle will provide that additional confidence regarding the resistance of our system we support that objective. |
We're going to take into consideration the inspection cycles, but keep in mind poles don't deteriorate overnight. |
