Florida Public Service Commission is already examining an application
from Florida Power and Light for approval to build two new nuclear
reactors at its Turkey Point power plant. In the same state, Progress
Energy are considering two Westinghouse AP1000 PWRs for a new site in
Levy County.

Progress' Executive Vice President and chief financial officer, Peter
Scott, told a Bank of America energy conference: "The most important
decision we have in front of us here in the short term will be from
the commission in Florida. Sometime in early 2008 we'll file the needs
case with the commission. It will contain our cost estimate for
building the plant. And if they authorize us to proceed it's highly
likely that we would actually go forward with building this plant."

Unfortunately the proposed site (along with the rest of Turkey Point
facility) will probably be under the high tide mark before the end of
it's useful service life. 10y(ic)+40y(sl)+20y(esl) == ~2080.

Exact date is dependant on pace of GW which is exceeding nearly all
worst case projections. South Florida's underlying porous coral reefs
insures that there can be no sea wall type defense which prevents
flooding.
