Dear NRC Board Members:
I am writing to request your board to uphold the standings of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in the review of all its units. Palo Verde matters greatly to the citizens of Goodyear. The plant provides the energy that fuels many homes in my city. Further, it provides clean, reliable energy to over four million people in the Southwest region.
Arizona Public Service has worked diligently, along with NRC supervision, to ensure Palo Verde is a safe and efficient plant, and a model of America's nuclear energy team as the nation's largest energy provider. The plant employs over 2,500 people, many of those from Goodyear, and is Arizona's largest taxpayer. It makes economic sense to efficiently continue to run Palo Verde.
As the Mayor of Goodyear, I strongly encourage you to renew the license for Palo Verde, to keep clean and reliable power coming to our homes, and to allow this fine example of America's nuclear power to function for years to come.
Sincerely, a James M. Cavanag Mayor Office of the Mayor 190 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, AZ 85338 623-882-7776 ° Fax 623-932-4249
