You need to educate yourself on how "safe" Palo Verde is. Point your browser to
http://www.animatedsoftware.com/environm/no_nukes/nukelist1.htm and check out some of the problems that have plagued this plant:
Aug., 2001: Valve failure causes leak of radioactive cooling water from the irradiated fuel-cooling pool into the reactor containment building, forcing a reactor shutdown. (Source: OC Register.)
March 14th, 1993: Hundred of liters of contaminated water gush from a leaking steam generator tube at Palo Verde (Source: Greenpeace; unit unknown). May 14th, 1986 Power lines to the Palo Verde nuclear power plant sabotaged (Source: Greenpeace; Unit unknown)
The APS web site has virtually no information about its nuclear plants.
Also, there's a big difference between living near a plant that has yet to have a major catastrophe, and one that is actually in the throes of a catastrophe. You're living the adage, "Ignorance is bliss."
Comparing living near Palo Verde to living near Fukushima Daiichi is also disgustingly insensitive to the people who are currently being evacuated, and now live with the threat of unusually high chances of developing cancer for the rest of their lives.
