Newsom defends extending Diablo Canyon

"I kept the lights on by extending CA’s last nuclear plant — 9.5% of our baseload. It’s absolutely critical moving forward if we’re going to help decarbonize. It’s the only path I see to get us where we need to go moving forward."

My thoughts after reading this article.

1. Nuclear isn't & has never been our enemy.
2. Energy use is not harmful, fossil fuels are.
3. The focus on nuclear & its "waste" problem is odd when we still receive 40% of our electricity from fossil fuels.
4. Diablo should operate for the full 20 years.
California's last nuclear power plant was supposed to be shut down. But now it's on the verge of a 20-year extension, thanks to the state's mounting power needs.

I'm headed to DC on March 20th to speak at NEI's Nuclear Communications Forum!

With my international campaign experience & insights from touring nuclear facilities, I'll be sharing my take on how we can continue to bridge the gap between civil society & the nuclear industry.

The Australian debate on nuclear energy has gotten ugly. As Californian women who were initially skeptical of nuclear we want to explore an alternative route of engagement & attempt to bring some positive vibes to this conversation.

RESTART THE REACTORS & STOP THE NUCLEAR PHASEOUT

I can't believe we are living in a time where developed, rich countries are shutting down existing clean energy generation when the world is trying to limit CO2 emissions and keep the lights on.

Make it make sense.
