Closing Diablo Canyon a big loss for California
In
this post, Meredith Angwin describes how California authorities have
kicked the can down the road about closing Diablo Canyon. If the
current agreement holds, the nuclear plant will close in about eight
years. Reading the small print on the agreement, however, we can see
that (1) Southern California is at risk for rolling blackouts this
summer, even with Diablo Canyon operating and (2) PG&E doesn't even
claim to have a plan for replacing Diablo Canyon power with other
low-carbon sources.
