I was wondering how California was going to go 100% renewables... Why California May Go Nuclear Last week, a California state legislator introduced an amendment to the state’s constitution that would classify nuclear energy as “renewable.” If the amendment passes, it would likely result in the continued operation of the state’s last nuclear plant, Diablo Canyon, well past 2025, its current closure date. Diablo generates 9% of California’s electricity and 20% of its clean, carbon-free electricity. “I’m not going to argue it’s not a long shot,” said the legislation’s sponsor, Assemblymember Jordan Cunningham. “But we can’t make a serious dent in slowing the warming trend in the world without investment in nuclear power.” Frankly I think this would be a terrible betrayal to the dirtfoot hippies who want only "green" energy.
