Smart Climate Legislation Will Protect the Environment and Consumers

It is FPL Group’s position that the threat of major, long-term environmental and economic damage from climate change is real.

As the nation's No. 1 producer of renewable energy from wind and solar power, FPL Group has taken numerous voluntary steps to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. However, we firmly
believe that voluntary programs are not sufficient to realize meaningful and necessary
reductions from all sectors. We must have a mandatory, economy-wide, market-driven
approach to climate protection. A market-based policy that puts a predictable price
on carbon emissions throughout the economy has the best prospect of achieving
environmental accountability while maintaining economic stability.

We believe legislation to address climate change should be enacted this year.

do so in a way that strengthens environmental safeguards while protecting
customers.
