RE:

Docket #R01-10

Dear

Ms.

Gunn:

I would

like

to

express my

opinion

of the

proposed

peaker

plants

for the

Zion

Benton Township area.

There

are many

of us who have lived

our

entire

life

in the ZionBenton Township area,

and

have endured

the potential health and environmental

risks associated

with the

Zion Nuclear power plant

and

its

spent

rods

below

ground.

We also have the BFJ waste dump

to the west.

It is my opinion the Zion City

Council

should explore alterative options to obtain tax

base revenue, as-well

as jobs for the community.

I

say

NO

to

building

power

plants

of any

kind in our

township.

There must be cleaner,

safer technology

available to supply the people of

this

State energy.

Sincerely,

Curt

W. Peters
