The following statement can be attributed to Maria Korsnick, president and chief executive officer of the Nuclear Energy Institute:
“California's passage of the Senate Bill 846 underscores nuclear's essential role in achieving a reliable, affordable and carbon-free energy transition. The bill offers a pathway for PGE to extend the operation of Diablo Canyon, which will help the state reach its climate goals and ensure a reliable clean energy workhorse continues to serve residents. Through effective policymaking, the nation's largest source of carbon-free power can continue to serve the state with affordable clean energy, while ensuring the long-term, highly skilled jobs and millions of dollars in tax revenues to California communities.
“California’s decision to preserve its current nuclear capacity mirrors actions we have seen around the country and around the world as governments recognize the critical role nuclear plays in decarbonizing both the electric sector and entire economies.”
