Dear Senator Feinstein:

Redefining Divorce Albert Napoli On behalf of the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce and our more than 650 Metropolitan Water District business members, I am writing to express support for a fair and Members. inclusive regulatory process currently underway for the proposed restart JeannetteBartus Pacific Community Credit Union and operation of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)

San Onofre enhances energy security by increasing SCE's generation diversity Cameron Irons Vanguard Investment Properties that also includes solar;wind, geothermal and biomass.

Page 2 November 29, 2012 On October 25, I had the opportunity to address the California Public Utility Commission and comment on the import role SONGS plays in the retention and attraction of businesses to Orange County, California. The business community needs to be reassured that reliable, competitively-priced electricity will be available when needed. To that end, the Fullerton Chamber of Commerce supports comprehensive, coordinated energy policies that will ensure adequate supplies at reasonable prices. These supplies have long included nuclear power as a part of the green energy portfolio.

If SONGS Unit 2 remains offline beyond 2014, SCE would need to consider a combination of other generating resources and/or construction of transmission lines throughout Southern California. The review and approval process for such construction would be lengthy and would put the region at a competitive disadvantage. Getting SONGS back on line as soon as possible is the only long-term solution.
