  Deny PG&E Funds for Nuclear Re-License Study
  Dear Ron,


  The license for the nuclear reactors at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant do not expire until 2025, yet PG&E is requesting that the California Public Utilities Commission force its ratepayers fork over $14 million dollars for an in-house feasibility study of renewing the plant's license for another 20 years. 
  This is an affront to California legislators and Governor, who recently passed legislation for the Energy Commission to do an in-depth analysis of the full costs, benefit and risks of the California's continued reliance on its aging nuclear reactors beyond current license periods.
  Action Needed:
  Ratepayers must speak out as soon as possible to prevent this waste of public moneys for private studies.  At minimum, the CPUC should deny PG&E's request until the California Energy Commission (CEC) has completed it analysis and the results have been approved and implemented.
  California deserves an energy future that is clean, economic and reliable. Until the CEC analysis is complete, that future is in jeopardy.
  Using the link below, please send a letter to the President of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
Deadline for responding: Please take action by January 17, 2007.

Each of the Iraqi children killed by the United States was our child. Each of the prisoners tortured in Abu Ghraib was our comrade. Each of their screams was ours. When they were humiliated, we were humiliated. The U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq - mostly volunteers in a poverty draft from small towns and poor urban neighborhoods - are victims just as much as the Iraqis of the same horrendous process, which asks them to die for a victory that will never be theirs": Source: Arundhati Roy, "Tide?
