Dozens of environmental and anti-nuclear organizations expressed opposition to any attempt to extend the life of California's last operating nuclear power plant.
Dozens of environmental and anti-nuclear organizations expressed opposition Tuesday to any attempt to extend the life of California's last operating nuclear power plant, challenging suggestions that its electricity is needed to meet potential future shortages in the nation's most populous state.
"Your suggestion to extend the operational life of the Diablo Canyon nuclear facility is an outrage," they wrote."Diablo Canyon is dangerous, dirty and expensive. It must retire as planned." PG&E announced the closing plan in 2016 as part of a deal with environmentalists and union workers, citing a"recognition that California's new energy policies will significantly reduce the need for Diablo Canyon's electricity output." But Newsom's suggestion highlights that the thinking has shifted, as the state looks for reliable power sources amid a changing global climate as California gradually shifts to solar, wind and other renewables.
They also questioned whether any federal funds would be enough to unravel the complex deal to close Diablo Canyon, which is regulated by state and federal agencies.
