ACTION ALERT!

San Luis Obispo Mothers for Peace (SLOMFP) has waited patiently for the closure of Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant scheduled for 2024 and 2025. Now, because of a well-organized and well-funded campaign linking climate change and nuclear power, Governor Gavin Newsom has turned his back on the legally binding Joint Proposal to close the plant, signed by 5 parties and approved by the California Public Utilities Commission. Newsom is interested in keeping Diablo Canyon open for an undisclosed number of years beyond its safe operating lifetime. SLOMFP is outraged.
