Getting there from here

[Dr Hite]

I am looking back and trying to figure out how we got to this point....

Understanding how we got here is essential to understanding where we go from here or where PG&E and Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant goes from here.

For me it began with a public comment before the SLO County Board of Supervisors. I played a video about the Tsunami and made comments
about Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. I stated a wave of misfortune was coming our way and spoke of the flotsam that could clog Diablo Canyon intake.

When photographs of Diablo Canyon began showing up on the net and in the national news, in relationship to Fukushima; I knew there would be an action to the reaction.

"Tsunami Debris Arriving Soon on the Central Coast"



Over 5 million tons of debris washed ashore in the wake of the 2011 Japan Tsunami. The Japanese Government estimates that about 30 percent of that 5 million, or 1.5 million tons of debris, was buoyant enough to wash away from the coast of Japan and enter the Pacific Ocean currents. The debris is already arriving in Alaska and Washington and larger quantities will wash ashore in Oregon and California in the coming months.

If you would like to join the cleanup effort, meet the group on Saturday March 9th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Montaña De Oro, Sandspit parking lot. In order to further reduce waste during these cleanups, ECOSLO requests that volunteers bring reusable gloves, reusable bucket or bag, and carpool to this family friendly event.

The Central Coast of California faced a marine environmental holocaust.

This video about Representation says it all; "Representation."
I continued to speak up carefully, even haltingly after I was intimidated with an interruption.

We needed input from a Marine Biologist that had experience in Estuary Eco-systems. We needed a council of environmentalists that included the Native American stakeholders.

Instead we got a politician to represent the interests of the Central Coast.

The issue of Environmental Justice is laced all throughout the issues of Los Osos and the PG&E application to extend the life of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. The Coastal Representative (District 2) wanted to be on the Coastal Commission. This is a a representative who tried to cut out all bus stops to the coast of Los Osos, including; Sweet Springs Nature Preserve, Baywood Park and it's Farmers Market. In a nuclear power plant emergency; the transportation dependent will NOT be able to evacuate from Los Osos-Baywood Park without an equitable transit plan.

This February 22, 2011 speech was placed on the SLO County web as a statement for the record and is also mentioned in a complaint against the County on behalf of myself and Does 1 -20. I wanted anyone submitting information to the County to be able to see how dismissive the County would be if a Gibson ambition was questioned. The ambition of becoming a spokesperson for the Central Coast to the California Coastal Commission began last year

Supervisor Hill had just listened to two men who vaguely spoke of a bus stop in the wrong location. But when a woman identified specifically what was wrong; she was interrupted. On the issue of the Seismic Survey, I expected the County to be dismissive of over half the public testimony, based on gender.

I expected the County to be dismissive of anyone from Los Osos based on slanderous follow-up board comments on 2 - 22-11
