Based on the feedback we're getting from Glades County Commissioners and the people themselves, they will oppose anybody that will go against the coal plant. The website will still be there to help those who wants to oppose it. In fact I sent an email to the Glades Commissioners and my email has been blocked already.I had to use somebody's email to get into their system. I also fax them a letter as follows:

Subject: FPL Coal-Fired Power Plant planned at Glades County
Dear Commissioners:
I recently heard about FPL and Glades County having a mutual agreement in support of the Coal-Fired Power Plant. The said Coal-Fired Power plant has been unanimously denied by St. Lucie County Commissioners because of its health hazards and among other detrimental, economic factors. – devaluation of properties and tricky maneuvers of FPL.
I will not tell you to support or deny the project proposed at your area. But all I’m requesting is for your group to visit the site-
http://www.nosmog.org. to get more information about the technology presented by FPL and other alternative sources of energy. I would also suggest that your group insist on the strictest implementation of the anti-pollution devices going to be used, providing containement of the coal delivered to avoid contaminating the area. There’s a video of coal plant in the website which will be interesting to see as an example of what your county is going to get.

Furthermore, please re-check the tax revenue issues and make sure that your county will actually get the tax money being presented by FPL. FPL, being partially subsidized by tax payers and the government has different tax and property devaluation rating. I do not want to see Glades County losing the end of a “good” bargain.
Sincerely,
Nelly Spengler
