Local officials and nonprofits sign open letter supporting a future “clean tech park” at Diablo Canyon
Governor Gavin Newsom told the L.A. Times last week he’s reconsidering whether Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant in San Luis Obispo County should fully close by 2025. In a reversal of his years-long stance on the plant’s decommissioning timeline, the governor said he’d like to work with utility PG&E to apply for federal funds to delay that closure amid projected energy shortages in California.
