No they really didnt.

They are still global warming nuts just continually stumbling to the next enamored “solution” until something else comes along.

And if this is the correct one, it will be no time before they change course and reject it.

DemLibs are stupider then a sack of hammers and blind to scientific reasoning. They are all just a bunch of cult followers with no brains....kind of like scuzlims....brainwashed pawns.

interesting because...
after years and years and years of refusing to build any new large significant power plants (or any other infrastructure such as freeways, roads, airports, water supply, etc.)
California is now having “brown out days”... cannot supply enough power for homes

so a 10 or 12 percent cut in the state’s power supply (closing Diablo) will do WHAT to help California, specifically?

There is a small group of Green Liberals who have figured it out that Coal is much more energy inefficient compared to Nuclear.

The problem with nuclear right now is there is a serious shortage of U235 (plenty of U238 and Pu239)
Multiple tries to use Pu239 and fast neutrons in reactors have all failed.

There seems to be something special about U235 which makes reactors fairly easy and the rest very difficult.

Too bad 1/2 life of Pu239 is so long as it breaks down to U235.

To show you how easy it is to create a U235 reactor, build a sub-critical mass ball of U235, then waive your hand over it.
It will most likely go “Prompt Critical” due to the water molecules in your hand acting as a moderator and neutron reflector.
When you fall dead from the neutron flux, your hand moves away and the reaction stops.

Thorium, Plutonium and U238 all act very different and can be very hard to start/control.
Plutonium reactors can be very unstable which explains some of the reason why all the attempts have failed.

nuclear energy is essential for addressing global warming

A tremendous amount of carbon based energy is consumed and pollution emitted in building, then later decommissioning, a nuclear power plant. 100% of nuclear energy ends up as waste heat in the environment. Add in a hiring pool of government school educated workers, millions of them imported from Islamic countries, you can forget about more nuclear power.
