SUPPORTING THE LICENSING OF SAN ONOFRE UNITS II AND III
NUCLEAR PLANTS
WHEREAS, the City of Downey is vitally concerned that the economic,
environmental and social well -being of the State of California be
maintained; and
WHEREAS, an adequate supply of energy is critical to meeting
California's economic and social needs while preserving the environmental
gains of the past decade; and
WHEREAS, this nation's continued overdependence on foreign oil has
caused major adverse economic impacts; and
WHEREAS, there is a probability that instability in the Middle East
will, at some near future time, result in reduced supplies of oil,
thereby causing further social and economic chaos here at home; and
WHEREAS, there must be a strong commitment to conservation of the
Nation's limited resources and development of efficient and secure new
sources of energy here at home; and
WHEREAS, regulatory delays in the planning and licensing of needed
energy facilities are costly to the consumer, damaging to the environment
and result in greater importation of foreign oil.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES HEREBY
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1.. That this City Council strongly supports the licensing
of San Onofre Units II and III Nuclear Power Plants; development of
alternative forms of energy such as solar, geothermal, and wind; and the
