Diablo Canyon: An Oasis In The Middle Of A Mega-drought
“We are the largest operating seawater
[desalinization] plant on the West coast at this time,” asserts Terrence
East, GE Water Field Area Manager at the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power
Plant near San Luis Obispo, California.
The Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, asserts Forbes magazine, is the only power plant in the state that “does not use any of the state’s precious fresh water,” and is, in fact, able to produce 825,000 gallons of fresh water per day more than it can use with an easy ramp up from its current production of 675,000 gallons per day.
All it takes to go to full capacity from the current 40 percent production level is increased filtration systems. At that point, the power plant would quickly be able to help the nearby community that is currently suffering from a four-year “mega drought,” according to Forbes.
