- tristanj 10y agoMakes sense. The pair seem to know what they're doing, so they probably checked city law beforehand to make sure everything is alright.
- etjossem 10y agoThe intent of the ordinance is also "to prohibit nuclear reactors." [1] No person shall operate or build a nuclear reactor the City of Berkeley, and that would probably include this project. That's not to say I agree with it. Berkeley has long been a hub of unhealthy NIMBYism, and this law is a leftover from the Cold War. I'd like to see that change.
