Dear Er. 3ryson:
A number of years ago my mother and sister, upon the invested a modest sum in a Californi Public Util-advice of a broker, ity being advised that such an investment would-provide income and rea-They are both dead now and I own the sonatly protect their investment.
s ecurities. The catch is that it is no longer much of a deal for an el-d erly person.
The reacon seems to be that regulatory commissions are, inclined to pay more attention to the Jane Fondas and the type of goons which she seems to attract than to the facts. Goons v.hich increase the price which the elderly pay for power by delaying construction of nu-in which cear facilities and by destroying property (Seabrook,N.H.)
I cannot see thousands the elderly may have invested their life savings.
of the elderly wasting gasoline to stage a protest at a Jane Fonda movie.
Now for a few facts.
- 1. The Threc Eile Island incident involved apparently f ahlty.f de-sign, faulty operation, improper maintainance, personnel failure and in-adequate instructions. Despite these flaws the operation was still so safe that notaa. life y!as lost.
As fsr as I know there has no t been a_ life lost as the result of a nuclear power plant f ailure.
The Sun-Isolated instances ' f burns and fires.
o 2.3. Wind. Eany; cases of falls and collapsed mills.
- 4. Hudro-21ectric-Eany-l.y nephew has been called upon to fish drc ned persons out of power da=s.
- 5. Coal-The Knox..Disact&riand'mchf dshers.
- 6. Cil-North Sea Big Collapse and many others.
At tne present period in time it would appear that nuclear energy is the safest source of energy that there is.
There could be some potential danger but it is not proven. On the other hand the danger of takeing a bath is well.docu-mented. Should we eliminate bath tubs, Vept truly yours Charles P. El,lio tt,W.(
