Candy Marlow reports that it is widely known that the Florida Power and Light Company nuclear power plants are an important part of a strategy to deliver safe, reliable, affordable power. For the first time, however, FPL now has an independent analysis that illustrates the economic benefits of these plants to the state and the communities they serve. FPL nuclear operations, which include the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant, Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant near Homestead and nuclear headquarters operations in Juno Beach, support nearly 1.4 billion dollars of economic activity annually in Florida, generate 1,600 direct nuclear jobs and nearly 6,000 total jobs statewide at higher-than-average wages, prevent nearly 15 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions. This is equivalent to taking 3 million cars off the road. The plant operations create a huge positive ripple effect throughout the Florida economy.
