Dear I's. Ecw=rs :

I triefly visited the hearing conducted by your Board in Mccksv111e, N.C.,

in January. I spcke to you during a recess to make inquiry as to when your Beard would

.ake a final decesion on Duke Pewer Co. 's. application to con-struct the propcsed Pedkins plant. In addition I contacted the parties and their counsel and gained the distinct impression that representation of the public was most limited. The' nost articulate group represenced the private interests of a liclted number of property owners a t High Rock Lake who apparently be-lieved tha t construction of the electrical porer plant would possibly interfere with their recreational facilities. I could find nc one who s ocke for the several hundred thousand other residents of the a' rea who rould be greatly benefitted by a power plant which would produce electrical energy without use of oil cr' coal.

I believe that it is urgent that inmediate steps be taken to cbtain or produce energy to replace that nor obtained frc=CPEC countries and to break the strangle-held these foreign countries now hold en ou econc=y.

This urgency jpstifies energency steps to attain energy independence instead of the years of delay your and other agencies have generated.

I an sure that you are aware of the tremen-dous cost increases generated by the several years of delay already generated.

I u ge that you consider all factors and the best inte ests of all citizens and of our country and nake and publ.sh a prenpt decesion.

sVery Truly Yours '
