Episode Details

St. Petersburg is poised to make a bold move—potentially breaking away from Duke Energy and launching its own electric utility. City council is set to vote on funding a $590,000 study to assess the financial and legal feasibility of running its own power grid. Fueled by rising bills and frustration over profits going to shareholders, the “Dump Duke” movement is pushing for electricity as a basic right. While critics like Florida TaxWatch warn of costly delays and taxpayer burdens, supporters point to Clearwater’s promising study showing potential savings. The decision looms large as council meets this afternoon at 1:30 PM at City Hall.
