Mon, Jan 28, 2008 6:47 AM Renewal Harris Nuclear Plant Memories of the former Torry Canyon and Exxon Valdez oil supertankers cannot fade from my mind. And they should not. They were some of the greatest ecological and economic diasters of mankind. Millions of fish, birds, and mammals died in the black ooz spilled from these vessels. More recent oil spills have happened off the coast of South Korea. If mankind depends upon oil for energy this tragically will not stop.Oil must be replaced by alternative energy sources. Yes so far our automobiles and other ground transport still depend upon this source but our power generating stations do not!From internet information I understand that the USA has about 104 nuclear power plants with the Shearon Harris plant being one. Our future depends upon reliable energy without being held hostage by those nations such as in the far east for this essential oil.How many of our young generation will die and spill their blood on a foreign land in this relentless quest for oil? Wars are being fought for this resource and America is going into debt that will never be paid off to do this? Are our future generations (assuming there may be a future) going to be doomed due to our reluctance to use nuclear techonology?

Who knows? The jury is still out.For one electricity consumerserved by the Harris nuke plant I would without reservation say to renew the license for the additional 20 years.Our life as a people and a nation depend upon energy that is cheap, plentiful, and obtainable, The risks compared to wars being fought for oil and past oil spill disasters are just plain not worth it. Yes in my opinion not worth it .....GEORGE J.
