Dear NRC Board Members:

I am writing to your board to support the renewal application for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. As the largest nulear power plant in America, Palo Verde is a symbol of Arizona's energy leadership and a welcome contributor to our energy infrastructure.

Palo Verde supplies the clean and efficient power that keeps so many of our state's businesses in operation and homes well lit. With recent improvement made to the safety and management of the plant, I am confident in APS's ability to continue running Palo Verde reliably for many years more.

As a major contributor to Phoenix and Southern California's power structure, Palo Verde holds a firm place in our two region's economies. Palo Verde is the baseline standard for pricing of energy here and helps keep costs low so that business owners can concentrate more on expanding and growing and less on the costs of operation like an expensive utility bill.

I can recall few times where the power has been out that it has not been swiftly restored. Thanks to the reliability of APS and Palo Verde, I have rarely had to worry about such a concern. As Arizona is facing OFFICERS one of the toughest economic climates in decades, losing the lower costs Palo Verde provides would be yet one more blow to business owners all over the region.

SCOTT SHILL President I hope you will take my letter into consideration and find that renewing the license application for Palo Verde is a smart decision for businessmen, homeowners and our entire state's economy.
