Ban all nuclear power plants in CA
Because of the dangerous risk involving nuclear power, because of the toxic waste it creates that is lethal for thousands of years, because the question is not, "Will we have a major nuclear accident", but "When!", the state of CA s from here on shall work expeditiously to shut down and decommission all existing nuclear power plants, and vow never to allow any new ones to be built.
Why is this important?
This petition is about phasing out all nuclear power in CA, and never allowing any new nuclear power plants to be built. We live in a state with very active earthquake faults. We live in a state where our nuclear power plants are built along a coast that is part of the "ring of fire" and all around the Pacific Coast are major earthquake faults and volcanoes that can trigger tsunamis. We live in an era of terrorism. None of these facts are compatible with nuclear power and for the protection and safety of all life in this region, we should not take the risk with nuclear power.
