Mar 16, 2023 - Diablo Canyon: California`s last nuclear power plant
For over 3 million people in California, one energy source powers their phones, computers, and lights in their homes. The Diablo Canyon Power Plant is the last nuclear power plant in the state of California. Twenty miles from Cal Poly’s campus, Diablo Canyon sits close to Avila Beach and powers about 9% of California’s energy. In 2018, the state of California decided to decommission and close the power plant by 2025, but last year the California Congress voted to extend the life of Diablo Canyon.
