"Biden Administration Secures $1.1 Billion Aid for California's Last Nuclear Power Plant"

The Biden administration has finalized a $1.1 billion aid package to support California's Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, extending its operation to at least 2030. This decision comes after the Legislature voided a 2016 agreement to close the plant by 2025, citing the need for its power to prevent blackouts amid climate change challenges. The move has sparked debate between environmentalists and proponents of nuclear power, as the industry seeks a potential resurgence in the fight against carbon pollution.
