Esteemed Diablo Canyon nuclear plant? upaloopa Nov 2014 #1

I'm with you and I was being sarcastic. Cleita Nov 2014 #2

Maybe they could work in the renewable upaloopa Nov 2014 #3

Solar is getting popular but not with PG & E. There's nothing to charge Cleita Nov 2014 #6

Exactly what is the Diablo Canyon Plant doing to ruin the Central Coast? Do you even know? NYC_SKP Nov 2014 #4

It is more complicated than can be expressed in single posts. Cleita Nov 2014 #19

You know what else works well in the Central Valley? Irrigation. KamaAina Nov 2014 #20
