- answer, the way to keep people out of their cars. What do we hear froa you about evacuation in any way, shape, or form? Nothing!
Af ter all, h there is a major accident at Indian Point (anything is possible insthis world), wouldn't you like to know that the 15-20 mile t
$rea (plus) was well evacuated? Wouldn't it please you that people could return to buildings and homes in order, in part, to pay their power bills?
It all means more money and profit to you in the long run, but to --
homeowners and renters, it means less stress in our lives knowing that you are operating a safer plant. The silence is decibel by decibel being filled with the voices of questioning county residents who are pulling their heads out of the sand on this issue, slowly realizing they have to face the anxiety-provoking issues of Indian Point.
Sincerely, 7
