Comment / Suggestion:

Stakeholders impacted by the decommissioning of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) have many concerns. The community seeks actions, by PG&E, Government leaders, and others, to mitigate adverse economic impacts that may be associated with the closure. These include the economic and social impact from the loss of jobs (direct and indirect), loss of tax revenues, and loss of other community support. Likewise, the community seeks land use and preservation actions for the DCPP site, actions that may require PG&E to forego other more economically valuable uses of the land.

Two key questions should be asked when evaluating any proposed action:

1. IS THE PROPOSED ACTION LEGALLY MANDATED?

2. WHO PAYS? (RATEPAYERS? PG&E? TAXPAYERS? OTHER?)

The answers to these two questions will help the Panel sort out the viability of the numerous concerns and demands that will arise during the decommissioning process.
