As we experienced earlier this decade, our electric grid is not prepared for this growth. Placing our future electrical needs in the hands of wind, solar and water generated electricity is not wise. As we experienced, when our solar panels freeze they are incapable of generating the power needed to keep heat on in our homes. As we have experienced, when wind is not blowing in the precise direction and in the precise geographic location, our windmills are rendered worthless - forget about the damage they do to the environment while being "online" and then the blades which are impossible to recycle or repurpose after their useful life. As we have experienced, droughts happen in North Texas. Relying on hydroelectric in North Texas is shortsighted given our inconsistent rainfall.

I read one of the previous reviews bringing up issues with cooling the reactor when we experience drought conditions. Unlike hydroelectric which requires water levels to remain so high, cooling things can continue even during droughts as pumps can be lowered to draw up water during dry periods.

We need reliable, predictable, cheap energy in North Texas. We need to get out ahead of our mushrooming population by extending Comanche Peak for another 20 years. I am 100% in favor of keeping Comanche Peak functional and funded.
