Monticello Xcel Energy Relicense I am in savor of making full utilization of existing nuclear plants by re-licensing.

(ywZ-G I have toured this facility personally, albeit before 9/11 security restrain:s. Their record of error free operation warrants continued operation for as long as the facility can be safely operated with prudent maintenance. The Federal Government's failure to site a nuclear waste repository should not be cause to close a functional, and large capital cost, generation plant before its' time. Minnesota's power supply cannot be replaced by conservation and renewables alone; forcing migration to natural gas for base-load power generation is a short-sighted squandering of a very limited resource.

I am responding as an individual who has served a Municipal Utility for the past 16 years.
