"We still believe the facility can be closed," Stern said, "but this funding is really designed to help average homeowners, people who send their kids to school in the Valley, take the closure of Aliso Canyon into their own hands."
At a news conference, state Sen. Henry Stern and Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo implored community members to hasten Aliso Canyon's closure by consuming less gas and turning to electric appliances.
Activists are shifting focus from demanding the facility's closure to encouraging residents to adopt green technologies while using a $71-million settlement to support these initiatives.
The funding from the SoCalGas settlement is set to help in the replacement of natural gas-powered home systems and to facilitate community resilience programs.
