California Goes Nuclear Free As Diablo Canyon Closes In Favor Of Renewables
June 22nd, 2016
By Joshua S. Hill

California, the world’s sixth largest economy, has announced it will go nuclear free as it replaces the Diablo Canyon nuclear reactors with renewable energy.

Californian utility PG&E announced a Joint Proposal with labor and leading environmental organizations this week that intends to increase investment in energy efficiency, renewables, and energy storage, beyondcurrent state mandates, while at the same time phasing out nuclear power in California by 2025. Specifically, PG&E announced that it intends to replace the two nuclear reactors at Diablo Canyon with “a cost-effective, greenhouse gas free portfolio of energy efficiency, renewables, and energy storage.” ...

The Joint Proposal also includes a commitment from PG&E to a 55% renewable energy target in 2031, a legitimately “unprecedented voluntary commitment by a major US energy company.”

Why is nuclear power far more expensive than energy from coal? Because in the cost analysis, they never include such little things like disposing of the nuclear wastes, in-plant accidents, prolonged shutdowns, and the big one, a core meltdown like at Chernobyl and Fukishima.

The first time there is a region-wide power blackout, all nuke plants within that area will have to rely on generator power. I doubt nuclear plants have enough generators to last more than a week, and a serious prolonged and vast region without power would most surely cause the plants to meltdown. We are playing with ticking time bombs. If saving a few pennies on the front-end is that important to you, go ahead keep playing with them.

California to Phase Out Nuclear Power By 2025
by Gina-Marie Cheeseman on Thursday, Jun 23rd, 2016

Say bye-bye to nuclear power in California as it will be phased out in less than a decade. Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), the San Francisco-based utility company, announced it will phase out its nuclear power production in California by 2025. That means the power produced at Diablo Canyon Power Plant, the state’s lone remaining operational nuclear power plant, will be replaced.

The last article is unequivocal.

Yes, add it to the long list of cost, accountants do not include in the operating costs for a nuke plant. They will eventually have relocate each and evey barrel of nuclear waste. Who is going to pay for it. I will tell you. The original company that maintained the nuke plant. The have always known this and should have starting adding in those costs from the instant plans were drawn up for the old nuker plants.

there's just so little to fear, and when you start to make comparisons, it's pure ignorance to not support nuclear.

We were speaking of waste. Why is not the need for waste disposal taken care of before building the plants? And, besides, we don't need new nukes, we need more storage. And now we have two companies building grid scale batteries right here in the US. And the Tesla battery comes in at $250 per kw/hr. That is $100 below the break even point for grid scale batteries.

And what's that other country you'll ship the batteries to to pollute it? Oh, besides "grid scale" "tesla" batteries sound promising, indeed. Guess, servicing a nukular bomb is safer.
