This afternoon Pacific Gas and Electric Company  (PG&E) filed a writ of certiorari, asking the Supreme Court to review the June 2, 2006 ruling of the United States Court of Appeals For The Ninth Circuit, which held that

  it was unreasonable for the NRC [Nuclear Regulatory Agency] to categorically dismiss the possibility of terrorist attack on the Storage Installation and on the entire Diablo Canyon facility as too "remote and highly speculative" to warrant consideration under NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act].      

  The June 2 ruling was in response to a challenge to both the NRC and PG&E filed by the San Luis Obispo Mothers For Peace, Santa Lucia Chapter of the Sierra Club, and Peg Pinard,

If the Supreme Court agrees to hear this appeal from PG&E, the San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace will continue its efforts to force the NRC to require PG&E to follow federal law. "It is reasonable and logical that PG&E take into account the environmental effects of terrorist attacks on its additional nuclear waste storage facility at the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant," according the MFP spokesperson Jane Swanson.

If you would like me to send you PG&E's filing I can do so as an attachment.  Just let me know and I'll send it to you. - Molly

Tori Woodard is a dear friend of mine who now lives in China.  She just got back from a 30-day trip through Mongolia.  The following quote is from an email to me after visiting a temple - 

"After we look at some particularly frightening gods, Muugii asks me
what my religion is. I shrug and say I don't have one. Her response
surprises me:  "Then you're free!"  

Mongolians understand freedom."
