but PG&E wields a very big stick in that area, not just because of providing power but also because they are one of the very few major employers there that pay well (the others, when I moved away, were the government and the prison). Things may have changed since I left, but there was actually quite a bit of solid support for the plant around there. And people have been lulled by the fact that there's been no major accidents so far. I'd like to think that Fukushima may have changed some minds out there, but somehow I doubt it.

Minor nitpick: it's just Diablo Canyon. There's no El.
