Pro-Nuclear March In San Francisco To Protest Closing Of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant

Pro-Nuclear March In San Francisco To Protest Closing Of Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant
On June 24tha coalition of environmental groups will march from San Francisco to Sacramento to protest the potential closing of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant which will wipe out most of the progress in clean energy made by the state with wind and solar power. In 2015, all wind energy in California only produced 12 billion kWhs. The two Diablo Canyon nuclear reactors produce 17 billion kWhs every year, and will for the next 20 years if not prematurely closed for political reasons. Unfortunately, PG&E announced today they will close the plant in 2025, devastating the local economy and putting 1,500 people out of work.
