It has beenmy experience that companies with large employee bases such as PG&E play an essential role in helping communitynonpro fits to achieve their mission by providing both financial and employee volunteer support. If the licensingapplication were denied, the economic repercussions on the nonprofits in San Luis Obispo County, and the state wvouldbe devastating. Such an action would have tremendous consequences for the county's social services programs and forthe nonprofit organizations that strive to improve the quality of life that we enjoy on the Central Coast.In addition, PG&E has demonstrated a strong and steadfast commitment to the environment. One example is on EarthDay when they make significant contributions to the California State Parks and send hundreds of employee volunteersthroughout the state to help on numerous conservation and beautification projects.In regards to their involvement with Nature Corps, every year PG&E recruits scores of employee volunteers to supportour conservation efforts. With their financial and employee support we have:*** Restored 3 miles of coastal dunes that serves as the nesting habitat of the threatened Snox3y Plover.*:* Rebuilt a plant nursery in Morro Bay State Park that is essential to revegetation projects throughout the state park.*** Sponsored our Science in Action program that made it possible for over 700 elementary school students to take partin a number of service learning projects to restore the dunes.Mobilized groups of volunteers to help reestablish a key meadow in Sequoia National Park. Meadows represent only20/ of the Sierra Nevada landmass but they support 75q0 oof the wildlife. This was the first restoration project of itskind and would not have been possible without PG&E's support."* From 2001 to 2007 PG&E employees helped plant 20,000 trees throughout Sequoia and Kings Canyon NationalParks. Three thousand of those trees were planted in memory of the victims of September 11. As a result of theirsupport, the project received a Congressional "Take Pride" award.3) Lastly, I feel strongly that the expanded use of nuclear power could tip the scale away from global reliance on oil.This in turn would dry up revenue streams that support defiant nations such as Iran, who engages in state sponsoredterrorism and supports insidious terrorist organizations such as ISIS.Based on the findings of the Safety Evaluation Report, I encourage the NRC to move forward with the relicensing ofthe Diablo Power Plants, both units I and 2.
