> Have you ever lived near a Ppwer Plant?
Yes.
> In the case of a melt down, as San Onofre is both on the Pacific coast line as well as along the San Andreas fault line so it was just a matter of time, we would all die. Some slower than others, but death was the most likely outcome due to radiation exposure as an evacuation plan would fail.
This is disinformation and has absolutely no basis in fact or reality.
San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) shut down in 2012 and was replaced (partially) by a natural gas power plant in Carlsbad. There is no possibility of meltdown. Even if there were, the impact would not even approach what you are describing.
> football fields worth of solar farms
Football fields would be tiny in comparison to the immense amount of land that would be required to replace Diablo Canyon with solar panels. Solar Star generates one eleventh the power of Diablo Canyon over the course of a year and occupies almost four times the space. Solar Star produces only about 42% as much energy in December as it does in June, while Diablo Canyon operates consistently pretty much year-round.
A single plant powers 9% of California with near-zero carbon emissions.
- Melting_Harps 6y agoI'm not even going to validate your post with a response, you clearly didn't grasp what I was saying and instead to a reactionary stance nor do you have actual factual information; SONGS was only on standby in 2012 after the leak was made public (it continued to be operational for a few days later while they tried to resolve the leak) while they dealt with the legal proceedings in court about how a decommsion would take place and who would be liable for it, and was only shutdown in 2013. I uprooted my entire Life because of this situation and how badly it was handled by the local Government, Edison, Mitsubishi, NRC etc... I lived in a neighborhood with mainly workers from SONGS! I had conversations with one of the lead engineers (one my neighbors) from Mitsubishi where I tried to get as much information as I could to make my eventual decision to leave. I was an activist on the front line, I was there and I lived in San Clemente: How are you going to tell me what happened? Because you read something you think you have greater insight on the situation than someone who lived it on a daily basis? > Football fields would be tiny in comparison to the immense amount of land... You took what I said out of context, that was in reference to Mars colonization. Again... this is horrible post and you should be downvoted and be ignored entirely on the matter and perhaps on any other subject if this your approach to argument/reasoning.
