Re: NRC Public Meeting on Economic Consequences Hi Carolyn, I was told at this meeting that you could get this information to the right person(s).
Please consider these facts when evaluating whether the NRC needs a policy change on Economic Consequences. For example, the following is critical information that needs to be considered when deciding whether to restart or relicense San Onofre.
Californias ports serve as a major economic engine for the state and the nation. In 2008, port facilities processed an estimated $500 billion of goods. More than 40 percent of containerized imports enter the country through California ports, and nearly 30 percent of the countrys exports depart through them. Their far-reaching economic contributions to the regional economy include:
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach generate more than $10 billion in state and local tax revenues a year.
Businesses that receive imports or ship exports through the Port of Los Angeles generate about $12.1 billion and stimulate an additional $5.5 billion in local industry indirect sales.
Employees for businesses that receive imports or ship exports through the Port of Los Angeles spend about $4.1 billion in the region.
With more than $100 billion of cargo moving through the Port of Long Beach every year, foreign and domestic shippers and steamship companies spend more than $5 billion in the region.
More than $10 billion a year is spent on wholesale distribution services for goods imported through the Port of Long Beach.
California ports also have a significant nationwide impact:
More than three million jobs across the country are linked to Californias public ports.
The Port of Los Angeles generates $21.5 billion in federal tax revenue.
More than $32 billion a year is spent nationwide on wholesale distribution services for goods that come through the Port of Long Beach.
