In midst of the summer heatwave, increased energy demands, and worries about possible rolling blackouts due to power shortages, a California Congressman plans to propose legislation aimed at preserving California’s last operating nuclear power plant.

Rep Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) is expected to introduce the legislation in the House of Representatives on July 9. The bill, known as the Clean Energy Protection Act, would “ensure the continued operation of Diablo Power Canyon Power Plant.”
