The Residents
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 whole- (cheering)
You told us that a Class 9 accident was incredible. Our fellow 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!
(Applause)
