I totally agree with the Shredder on Diablo! Finally, someone who says the truth. I don’t understand people who call nuclear power “clean.” Instead of polluting the air for 10 years, it kills everything it touches for 24,000 years. Now that Diablo Canyon Power Plant doesn’t bring in any tax revenue to our county/state, it’s the risk without the benefit.
Only San Luis Obispo has the risk, while the entire state gets the benefit, with no risk. Shouldn’t SLO residents within the evacuation zones get a discount on the power produced, to help to mitigate some of the risk? I believe our elected state representatives should fight for this discount for residents, instead of giving away billions of our dollars to PG&E—Assemblymember Dawn Addis, state Sen. John Laird, and Gov. Gavin Newsom!
