U.S. CO2 Emissions Rise As Nuclear Power Plants Close

U.S. CO2 Emissions Rise As Nuclear Power Plants Close: Closing nuclear power plants ahead of schedule is a bad idea if you care about the environment, if you care about carbon emissions. That’s because nuclear is the best source of low-C energy and actually produces most of our low-C electricity, over 800 billion kWhs – twice as much as all renewables.

PG&E could pay dearly for North Bay fires, even if it followed rules - SFChronicle.com

PG&E could pay dearly for North Bay fires, even if it followed rules - SFChronicle.com: The lethal wildfires in the North Bay could exact a heavy cost on Pacific Gas and Electric Co., even if the utility did nothing wrong. State investigators are trying to determine whether PG&E’s power lines and poles — some of which came crashing down in a windstorm the night the fires began — sparked the flames. The first lawsuit from burned-out homeowners accusing PG&E of negligence was filed a little more than a week after the fires began. If investigators do find that PG&E’s electrical lines started the fires, the company will probably be liable for economic damages, regardless of negligence.

In a ruling announced Feb. 8, the Court of Appeal's First Appellate District reaffirmed its finding that a Contra Costa County Superior Court judge had erred when he ruled that the 90-day statute of limitations had expired on the Save Lafayette Trees' request for an environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. The court had initially ruled on Oct. 23, 2018, that the CEQA claim was filed in time.
