Dear NRC Board Members:

I am writing this letter to express my support for the renewal application of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating S.tation-, Palo Verde creates the clean, reliable and cost effective energy that rmy.Wcn6hstitcjents`'ih. Legislative District 4 can rely on. The continued future of this generating station is important to all of us.

Benefits of the energy produced by Palo Verde directly impact the citizens I represent. An unwavering and low cost for energy can ease the strain experienced due to the current economic climate. Beyond the cost of energy consumption, my constituents expect the power coming to their homes to stay on throughout summer heat waves and desert monsoons. Palo Verde has-been a part of that dependablfe service providedby APS.-

APS h*as shown a long-term commitment'to the -de*velopment of the Palo Verde's location: and wide-, range oif6seýrice' arieas. The-generating station is. a major employer With more than"2,500 J6b s ad is one of Arizona 's'la rgest taxpayers.
