General Comment To Whom It May Concern, I support the renewal of the licenses for Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant because Nuclear energy produces more clean-air energy than any other source and is the only one that can produce large amounts of electricity 24/7.
The two units at Diablo Canyon produce a total of 18,000 gigawatt-hours of clean and reliable electricity annually, which is enough -energy to meet the needs of more than three million Northern and Central Californians (nearly 10% of California's energy portfolio and more than 20% of the power that PG&E provides throughout its service area).
The plant generates more than 20 percent of the electricity used by PG&E customers; with the important contribution of zero-emissions power from nuclear power, more than half of PG&Es electricity is generated from carbon-free sources.
Due to its ability to generate zero-emissions electricity 24/7, the plant plays an important role in helping the state to cost-effectively meet its greenhouse gas reduction goals under the Global Warming Solutions Act AB

.4' Page 2 of 2 For 30 years, Diablo Canyon has continued to safely produce clean and reliable energy without greenhouse gases (GHG), avoiding 6 to 7 million tons per year of GHGs that would be emitted by conventional generation resources.
Environmiental stewardship is one of the cornerstones of PG&Es values, and that commitment is evident throughout the 12,000 acres that make up the land upon which Diablo Canyon sits.
Through adherence to Best Management Practices, PG&E sustains the environmental qualities of the Diablo Canyon lands by managing and protecting natural and cultural resources; sharing the resources with communities and educational organizations; practicing sustainable agriculture; and managed access programs to promote environmental appreciation.
