I wonder if Nancy made the appropriate adjustments in her portfolio prior to this announcement.

(snip)The extension may require regulatory actions by agencies, including the state's water control board and its land, utilities and coastal commissions, but it would exempt them from abiding by some environmental laws. It would also make clear that no coastal development permits or additional studies need to be completed by the Coastal Commission.

How convenient.

I can’t remember, wasn’t there a nuclear reactor power plant on the coast by Carlsbad?

That was San Onofre. IIRC, They had a problem with some cooling stuff (heat exchanger) and rather than just repair what was there, they designed a “better” one. Unfortunately, it had harmonic problems and was failing much quicker than the original. Rather than fixing again, the operator elected to shut down.

Diablo was going to shut down because that’s what Gruesome Nuisance (sometimes misspelled Gavin Newsom) wanted and was pushing the CA agencies to force. PG&E brass decided to cave and not fight it. Somewhere along the line our wonderful governor changed his mind…
