The DiabloCanyon Power Plant provides many benefits to the local community, including revenue, jobs, and cleanenergy. The plant not only protects children (and adults) from breathing in harmful sulfur dioxide and otherparticulates that come from the combustion of fossil fuels, but the plant can also help with the drought bydesalinating water.Removing the plant from operation would be a loss for the environment and public health. After the San Ofreplant shut down in 2012, California's carbon emissions rose by 35%, according to NuclearMatters. In thecontext of climate change closing clean energy plants is going in the wrong direction. Disregarding climatechange, closing clean energy plants is a public health disaster as it forces those in the surrounding communityto breathe in more air pollution.Keep Diablo Canyon Power Plant Units 1 & 2 open.SUNSI Review CompleteTemplate = ADM -013E-RIDS= ADM-03file :///C :/Users/CAG/Documents/XPMigratedFolders/NRC-2009-0552-DRAFT-0020.html 0/72108/07/2015
