Looks like a win-win for everyone, especially if the plant keeps running. The tribe gets the land back, and CA gets a huge amount of reliable, clean power. The video is also a testament to nuclear's tiny footprint on the landscape, per kW-hr generated (9% of all CA's power, from a single, compact facility).
This is powerful! yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini Tribe has a documented history on this land, and it's incredible to hear their plan regain their homeland while partnering with the community. Their proposed stewardship plan shows a thoughtful approach to balancing cultural restoration with California's energy needs. This is an oportunity for California to make history. LANDBACK for yak titʸu titʸu yak tiłhini Tribe!
Thanks so much to the YTT Tribe for balancing their right to restore their ancestral homeland with the need to keep this small-footprint, yet major clean energy source operational. I hope their thoughtfulness is repaid many times over.
So Cal Poly is going to build on it and use it? Sounds odd that on the one hand the Chumash want the land back because it is where their ancestors were buried, and Cal Poly wants to develop it? It doesn't make sense.
What made it “their land” is already kind of screwed by the initial development. They haven’t lived there for years, nor is it home to any wildlife or plants, because it’s a power plant. But, as is the case with most of these lands, their’s financial benefits conferred through their ownership (and in the case of this one, environmental ones). The tribe can take financial ownership of the plant and benefit directly from its operations, and the plant provides power to a whole state on a large scale. Cal Poly development would presumably help revitalize what was before intended to be a dead project (This plant was initially scheduled for decommissioning by 2030, the federal government paused that because it would destabilize the entire CA grid), potentially allowing it to serve multiple roles, for power generation and for research/learning. It’s not exactly a student safe reactor or anything, but with the addition of newer facilities a portion of it could be, which would open up the nuclear future of a state that turned away from it, as our energy needs have increased.
The tribe should be allowed to develop some of it. Not a casino, but tribal homes that have zero property taxes and an ability to access the ocean via a marina.
The plant is designed to withstand earthquakes, and will likely be an asset in the event of a large one because it could still provide power when gas lines (California’s primary energy source) could be ruptured. There is is no meaningful danger to the public from Diablo experiencing a large quake. Worst case scenario, the plant is taken offline and repairs are made.
The government is already occupying the most scenic coastal sections of property , still keeping much off-limits to us who live here. The entire Balboa Headlands adjacent to Santa Monica was never going to allow Chumash artifacts with archeological significance impede the demand for luxury condos . I wandered New Mexico and Texas to study pueblo migration patterns that got wiped out with military bases imposed on the living spaces they lived in. Salvage Archeology sums up the process of sifting through any remaining vestige of that critical period between 800-1200 ce. The question of safely storing 3,000 radioactive rods on site while shallow active earthquake faults are even more hazardous with fracking activities closing in remains an acceptable risk to PG&E .

It's an outrage they are being forced to PAY FOR this land that was stolen from them. A complete travesty!

Not sure why PGnE acts like they are part owner of land
They’re still taking from the natives ???? No pos wow.
Looks like a Casino is on the way!!
Don’t be so obtuse.
@@penelopefin5092 Sorry i forgot the luxury highrise hotel spa and RV park with a 30 pump gas station.
Isn't there a fault line right next to Diablo Canyon? Isn't That why closing the plant is so important? -Get that stuff away from our ocean!
Nuclear is the safest energy source there is. Stop closing perfectly good Nuclear plants in a climate crisis.

@@ryn4181 Yeah I don't think it's fair saying that's the worst-case scenario... Sounds more like propaganda than insight. ?
Just close that Lemon down already
What’s lemon about it? One of the most reliable electricity plants in human history. Why not close fossil plants?

You're not familiar with it's history?
