What:  Mothers for Peace - Stop Diablo Canyon
Where:  Online - email Senators
When:  Before Aug 31

Take Immediate Action to STOP the extended operation of Diablo Canyon!

Newsom's latest capricious bill exempts environmental review and costs
us $1.4 Billion!

Governor Newsom has now introduced another bill to allow for the
continued operation of Diablo Canyon by a vague "five or ten
years."  The draft of this bill includes shortcuts and sweeping
exemptions from environmental review from State permitting agencies.

This bill also promises to "loan" PG&E up to $1.4 billion to cover
costs of extending Diablo Canyon’s operating life - with all of the
loan potentially "forgivable."  It agrees to pay PG&E $7 per every
megawatt-hour of power generated which would mean an annual subsidy
exceeding $120 million.
