Hi BillK,

The list of risks includes nuclear reactors.  Currently about 9% of
California's power is nuclear, but the Diablo Canyon reactor is approaching
retirement, which will mean that 9% hasta come from somewhere, perhaps
imported from coal powered plants.  We have had rolling blackouts, which
have a negative impact on air quality, as Diesel generators must be fired up
and the natural gas peaker plants have their heyday.  People will have
electric power, regardless.  I have a gasoline powered generator, which can
carry the load for everything except HVAC.

Nuke plants may be hazardous and create radioactive waste, but at least they
are clean and safe for the environment.
