Do you realize how myopic it is to have nuclear power-plants along the San Andreas fault line? Have you lived in California for very long? Do you not realize that CA is in a very unique position when it comes to renewable energy? And for what 9% of CA's energy needs? More could and should be done to increase it's reliance on renewables (~33% but growing). San Onofre was the most dangerous of all nuclear plants in the US and was left operational only due to industry standard vow of secrecy, and it had tons of violations prior to it being decommissioned. Diablo Canyon couldn't keep it's emergency cooling system operational for extended periods of time [0]. This should be a major red flag if you understand what occurred in Fukushima and caused not just the melt-down, but the melt-through and how they had to rely on external water sources to continuously douse the reactors then inevitably ended up in the Pacific Ocean. I am anti-nuclear, or better said, I'm anti 20th Century Nuclear plants, because of how incredibly bad things get when they do go wrong. Not to mention the profoundly stupid approach entities like the NRC have taken towards incredibly inept nuclear waste storage policy--paying NC to store it, and leaving what they can't send out in canisters along the Pacific Ocean or in the decommissioned pools. 0: https://calcoastnews.com/2016/12/pge-cited-cooling-system-failure-diablo-canyon/ https://calcoastnews.com/2016/12/pge-cited-cooling-system-fa...
