WPLG Anchor Talks Turkey Point Safety with Miami Waterkeeper

Louis Aguirre - May 14, 2025

MIAMI (FL), May 14 and May 21, 2025 / 5:00 PM & 11:00 PM / WPLG Local 10, Don't Trash Our Treasure - Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant was approved to operate until the 2050s—a total of 80 years—without fully analyzing serious risks like groundwater contamination, rising temperatures, stronger hurricanes, and increasing flooding. Is Miami's aging nuclear facility ready for the future?

We at Miami Waterkeeper don't think so. That's why we've officially appealed this license extension to ensure that FPL is fully considering—and planning for—these risks. We've been talking to WPLG Local 10 News Miami and Emmy-award winning journalist Louis Aguirre.

What's at stake? Watch the news segments below.
