California Considers Closing its Last Nuclear Power Plant

摘要

One of the first states to embrace nuclear power for electricity production in 1957 is considering closing its last nuclear facility in 2025. California's Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) would close the Diablo Canyon Power Plant located between San Francisco and Los Angeles by 2025. The electricity the two nuclear reactors produces would be replaced by a "greenhouse-gas free portfolio of energy efficiency, renewables and energy storage," said the company in a statement.
