Do you trust pg&e after the whole French laundry lobbyist thing? https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/abc10-originals/newsom-pge-protection/103-65ca1d41-8ef

  No, I would definitely support an audit of their claims. With my comment, I intended to point out that a seismically active location may not be game over for a nuclear plant if proper consideration is taken.

  The same PG&E also fell behind on maintenance of vegetation around power lines, causing wildfires. As well as gas pipe infrastructure, causing a neighborhood scale explosion.

    On the other hand, distributed, statewide maintenance (vegetation, gas pipelines) is very different than centralized maintenance (nuclear power plant). It doesn't speak well to their competence, but "inspect and maintain 1,000s of miles of line" is different than "inspect and maintain 1,000 items in one place."

      If the risks were equivalent, but it’s maintain many more than 1000 items to at a tolerance 1000 times more sensitive with a outcome 1000 times worse than a wildfire or gas explosion.
