City Hall Meeting
I, Karen Maciel, representing City officers, had against idea about install a power company in our city. First of all, I tough that this city doesn’t need this and build a big company could give us some financial and/or environmental problems.At the city hall meeting occurred last Friday, November 6, some ideas were showed by different points of view, such as the power company, the consumers, population who lives near to the area where is suppose to be build the company and us, the City Officers. The company gave us a choice between built a solar or nuclear power company. The population was against with these ideas because the solar could be expensive and it needs a large area to be built; also, the nuclear idea was against because the company couldn’t give us a clear solution for the contaminate garbage produced.After all this discussion and balance about advantages and disadvantages, The City Officers get a conclusion that maybe the solar power could be a good idea for our city, because in the summer we have a good solar radiation that can give us enough energy for the whole year. Thus, our bills were be reduced 20% (amount combined in contract) given us decrease in our spending.On the other hand, the nuclear power is definitely a bed idea. If it were building, could cause risks to our population because we live in a place where many earthquakes occur and also cause risks with the radioactive garbage produced by this kind of company.
