Vermont Yankee "Upgrade"

Dear Sir or Madam:

I could not believe it when I read that Entergy Corp. wants to boost the output of a 33 year old nuclear reactor by 20%! This reactor is reaching the end of it's life span, and they want to put it under greater pressure, further stressing the radiation embrittled piping ?I No!

I realize, as a retired electrician, that generating capacity is stretched thin.

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to solve this problem by conservation, such as subsidizing fluorescent bulbs, and replacement of non energy star appliances by more energy efficient ones? How about an initiative to encourage citizens to install solar panels, and passive solar heating? How about subsidizing increased insulation for those who heat with electricity? Stressing even more power factor regulation by industry? How about more large cities going to a superconductive electricity backbone as Detroit did, engineered by American Superconductor?

I believe that the supposed New England generation shortfall is really a lack of proper energy usage, conservation, and planning.

I remember the terror and uncertainty of Three Mile Island, and I know that Chernobyl increased background radiation all over the world.

Until we have done everything that we can do to conserve and manage, let us not be hasty in approving measures of very doubtful safety.

The penalties of failure are too great.
