You Don't Even Live Here

Sir, there are hundreds of people outside. They can't get in. You

have even gagged us. You have not allowed us to speak at this hearing. We

asked you to stop construction of the plant, and you didn't listen to us.

You didn't listen even to your own two consultants of the advisory

committee on the reactor's safeguards, when they said that this plant is

dangerous. You don't have to talk, you don't even live here, you have no

stake in this (??).

You told us that a Class 9 accident was incredible. Our fell

ow

citizens have learned too painfully that you were WRONG AGAIN! The NRC said

that the money eight years ago, money would never be a factor in licensing

this plant. Yet today self-righteously you made claims that we've got

to get this plant licensed because any delay costs the plant millions of

dollars. Sir, may I remind you that, as tax-payers, we in this community

pay your salary. As taxpayers, we pay the NRC's salaries. As wage-payers,

we pay PG&E's salaries. We, sir, are paying for this whole goddamn

proceeding, and you won't even let us talk!
