Personal Point of View – Power Plant

Giving 50% of whole cost is burden for citizen to build Power Plant. If we do not have problem using electricity, we don’t need to build it up in this place, Riverside. For one thing, Riverside is natural city compared to Los Angeles. Riverside has good environment for growing up Navel Orange so, this place is known for farm. If you go out, you can find wild fields for farm and this area is made of small shortage people. For my part, this area doesn’t need to construct electricity plant.

If the city really wants to build it up in Riverside, a municipal office in Riverside have to be held for election place. If the tax will increase because of start-up amount, citizen will be given by burden. I felt that many American dislike to pay much tax when I read newspaper USA today. I could understand the feeling because citizen has to pay tax whenever they buy something. In Korea, we don’t need to pay when we buy product. Our tax system is different with USA because our items which we buy include the items.

In my opinion, before we will build the power plant, people who study different subjects in many fields have to gather and talk about the topic. We can choose various choices like either giving support fee 10% for two years or giving support fee 5% for five years. As we choose one of them, we consider about the topic seriously. After we chose something once, it is difficult to change to other thing. A famous philosopher Sartre said that life is C between B and D. It means living own life is Choice between Birth and Death. I totally agree the saying, so we choose something very carefully. If this case like building a power plan can be very important issue, every citizen has to participate to address their voice about that.
