In this article by The Sacramento Bee, we learn that nuclear power in California is produced by two operating nuclear power reactors at one plant. There are three nuclear facilities at various stages of decommissioning, and multiple research reactors that are operational or undergoing decommissioning. The California Energy Commission coordinates the activities of state agencies involved with nuclear material shipments. If the PG&E nuclear plant does close, electric bills will most certainly rise. California Energy Commission also states that we can only become more efficient with nuclear power to help save the United States and make it a better place.

This article relates to environmental science in the sense that nuclear power needs to be more efficient and eco friendly so we can help California in its mission to save the United States. Next, we need to take action in saving the planet because it has gotten to the point that climate change is almost unstoppable. Nuclear power is so important because it provides energy for the entire United States to use. In my opinion I believe that the use of nuclear power can be improved in its efficiency and I hope to find a new alternative for power that is better for the United States.
