Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, amid its criticism, supplies 6% of Californians' power while facing calls for decommissioning due to safety and costs.
California's transition to renewable energy is polarized by Diablo Canyon's operation, with critics citing its high costs and risks, while supporters look for reliability.
Governor Newsom's deal to extend Diablo's operation until 2030 exemplifies the ongoing battle between nuclear power’s reliability and concerns over its safety as energy prices change.
As solar and wind costs decrease, Diablo Canyon's criticisms reflect a nationwide struggle between reliance on aging nuclear facilities and the pursuit of safer, cleaner energy sources.
