February 13, 2020 —- Located on Biscayne Bay, 24 miles south of Miami and just east of the Homestead area, Marlon Hill recently toured the Florida Power & Light Turkey Point facility. The Turkey Point facility includes two nuclear power units and generates about 1,600 million watts of electricity enough power to supply the annual needs of more than 900,000 homes.
About nine-tenths of the Turkey Point property remains in its natural state of mangroves and freshwater wetlands. There are more than 60 known species of birds and animals that inhabit the property. Of these, 17 are endangered. The endangered American crocodile enjoys a favorable habitat in the plant cooling canal system.
