Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant Extended for 5 Years
•
Californias Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant secures five-year extension, reversing closure plans. The plant, located on the San Luis Obispo shoreline, now awaits federal approval for a twenty-year relicensing permit. The decision reflects a shift in thinking, as California considers nuclear power vital for meeting energy demands, especially after recent climate-related blackouts. Despite environmental concerns, nine of twelve commissioners approved the plan, focusing on reducing environmental impact. Lawmakers like Senator John Laird and Assemblymember Dawn Addis support the extension but push for stronger environmental protections and mitigation measures. The plants funding remains a contentious issue, with critics arguing it could slow renewable energy development.
