CALIFORNIA’S LAST NUCLEAR POWER PLANT TO CLOSE: PG&E agrees to close Diablo Canyon in 2025.

The closure is part of an agreement with labor and environmental organizations announced Tuesday in which the utility agrees to increase investment in energy efficiency, renewable power and electricity storage to offset the power that will no longer be produced by the nuclear plant.

If California’s labor and environmental organizations were serious about reducing carbon emissions (or powering desalinization plants to curtail the state’s permanent water crisis) they’d be demanding more nuclear power plants instead of shutting them down.
