Grist: California`s biggest electric utility announced a plan on Tuesday to shut down the state`s last remaining nuclear power plant within the next decade. The plant, Diablo Canyon, has been controversial for decades and resurfaced in the news over the last few months as Pacific Gas & Electric approached a deadline to renew, or not, the plant`s operating license. "California`s new energy policies will significantly reduce the need for Diablo Canyon`s electricity output," PG&E said in a statement, pointing...

Reuters: Nuclear reactors are not being built rapidly enough around the world to meet targets on curbing global warming, a report by the World Nuclear Association, an industry body, said on Tuesday. The association, which represents the global nuclear industry, says 1,000 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity needs to be added by 2050 so nuclear can supply around 25 percent of global electricity. Last year, more nuclear reactors were under construction and came online than at any other time in the past...

California is on the verge of closing its last nuclear plant. Is that really a good idea?

Vox: Californias half-century dalliance with atomic energy could soon be over. On Tuesday, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. announced its proposal to close Diablo Canyon, the states last remaining nuclear power plant, by 2025. This is just the latest in the utter decimation of America's nuclear fleet. Back in 2013, the United States had 104 reactors supplying one-fifth of its electricity. Since then, five reactors have been retired early and at least seven more are scheduled to close -- all victims of...
Nation losing a nuclear weapon against climate change

Bloomberg: Some environmentalists are thrilled over Tuesdays announcement of the planned closing of Californias Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. They might want to reconsider: Fighting climate change requires more nuclear power, not less. That Diablo Canyons two reactors could be allowed to shut down is alarming evidence that too little effort is being made to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. The electricity that the Diablo Canyon plant generates, which amounts to about 9 percent of Californias power,...
