o Rhyme end Rocoon for NUCLEt.3 Generation of Elsotric Enorgy; 1- It requires Federal subsidyyy(the public's taxes) to construct the Reactors, and continued survalance in operstion.
2- The Philadelphia Electric Co. , have had the unfortunate exper-1ence with the Three Mile Island Reactors, and are determined to " clean-up #3, which Pres. Reagan wants to provide $150.11111. '
to start the long-(four year) project, to cost more Millions! .
, Also they want permission to re-start #1, admittedly: "To show
- l that we can run it safely"-- no reference to the need for the i juice, which we have lived without now for over two years!! .
l 3- P*E. obtained a permit to construct a nuke plant near Potts-l town " Limerick" a few years ago, expected to "go on line" '85.
j Irenocally, they have admitted that the anticipated demand to l
justify this energy is not materializing, and they want to sell the generated energy, before it is available! And now to i
- ~justiff rinishina ths plut tharhave AppIred~ f6r Yii"0PERATING' l '
License, obviously to continue the construction of the plant!
4- P.E. Apolied for a Rate hike recently-for 20%--granted 10$/-
i admittedly to help finance the Limerich construction / debit--
(Asking the customers to pay for something they bay never get.)
This is only the'tip of the iceburg' with continuing raises, as
_._.we_ bad an _" Energy Cost Adj" on our bills , (about 22%) this year /
So. folkybowever you carve the arguments, you and I PAY for tthis foolishness, either in hiked service Bills, or TAXES to let
~
Govern =ent spend it to keep the wasteful Nukes operating. i And, the life of Nukes is around 25 years--then what? bury them n or clean-up, like T3tI's with continination of the environment. ?
Also that Nukes are rated at 7 70%, and general-actual is @ 50% '
just recently, report that only two in the state are in operation.
P.E. is reported giving up a projected plant opcosite Peach 966 tom (. ,, -.,
l 5- All this adds up to the FACT that we are not DEPENDENT on Nuke.Ener-gy, since they are pricing out of. the increasing competitive market.
Some folks will take IT so long, until asking:-is there an alter-l native?--YES is _the. answer, and. IS being quietly developed by the - --
, PEOPLE, Neighborhood groups, get together, in several Philadelphia -
( areas--forming co-operatives , for study, planning, working together
- l to let Old SOL heat their homes and water, cheat the profiteering _
Utilities . It's been under way two years on the quiet; -because: .
it would hurt P.E .,--they can spend thousands $ on advertising and litigation, and the custo=sr pays for it--that's business //
6- This is not Science-fiction, FACTS backed up by a :mgazing which is bold tp seek and publicize such " benefits" for humuity, another is in the Boston area; see the New ROOTS magazine for Holiday,1981.
Just a footnote: mentioned:- one man has ins talled a windmill,,
