California reevaluates nuclear exit

California's Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant, initially scheduled to shut down in 2025, has received federal approval to operate until 2030, with plans now emerging to extend its life to 2045. Supporters argue that maintaining the plant is crucial for providing reliable, zero-emission electricity amid rising demand from AI data centers and electric vehicles. Opponents cite concerns over aging infrastructure, nuclear waste, earthquake risks, and the potential to hinder renewable energy growth. The decision to extend the plant's operation until 2045 requires legislative action, with debates ongoing about safety and environmental impacts.
