Two Rivers, WI, 54241 Email: dsheley@tm.net Phone: 9207552133 General Comment I worked at the Point Beach power plant for 38 years in Operations, have no ill effects and enjoyed working with a lot of skilled people that enjoyed creating carbon free energy. Everything in life has drawbacks towards the "opinion" of someone (no-one wants a X or Y in there back yard).

Peoples back things like "lets get all cars to run on plug in electrical outlets and thus eliminate the Carbon Monoxide vehicle produce". The problem is most of those peoples have no real idea where those electrons come from to charge those car batteries and assume some solar or wind generator will provide an endless supply of such verses the coal / oil / nuclear plant that today is capable of producing the electrons needed night and day independent of the sun or weather!

Stretching out the past success of the late 1960's small plant design to 80 years is acceptable provided engineering can show that 1960's equipment design / limitation following years of upgrade is SAFE. Sure tomorrow a meteorite could hit the earth and things will be different but as we are today "the sky is falling" hype of not continuing to operate the Point Beach plant for 80 years is not helping us move away from the carbon issue we are experiencing today with the earth global warming historical influence from the cycle of the sun that is elevatable (but made worst by our burning of centuries of waste DUMPstuff (carbon) from millions of centuries of energy "fall out" of the suns energy.

Eventually Nuclear will have to replace all that coal and oil we burn if you want to maintain your lifestyle as solar and wind are not that reliable today. So yes you can make your "I HATE NUCLER" argument today and think no new plants will take Point Beache's place, but that is not going to happen, so let a good running and well maintain plant help us continue to move in the direction of giving us what we need until SUNI Review Complete Template=ADM-013 E-RIDS=ADM-03 ADD: Phyllis Clark, Bill Rogers, Mary Neely Comment (48)
