RE: City Council Meeting Agenda Item #5H
Dear Mayor Stewart,
I am writing on behalf of Central Coast Construction Trades (CCCT) to urge the San Luis Obispo City Council to
join us in supporting legislative action to authorizing Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) to operate for up to twenty
(20) additional years, to restore unitary tax treatment for DCPP, and to support coastal land conservation and
public access near the facility.
DCCP provides approximately 9% of California’s total generation of power and extending the plant’s operational
life for up to 20 years would provide stable, carbon free baseload power that strengthens grid reliability, reduces
greenhouse gas emissions, and advances California’s clean energy and climate goals.
The continued operation of DCCP should continue to be subject to rigorous regulatory oversight and include
sustained funding for plant maintenance, local and regional emergency preparedness, spent fuel storage security
and ongoing long-term planning, public safety services, and other coordination activities that protect our
community.
It is also important to reestablish fiscal fairness for the communities that host and support the DCCP facility by
restoring the pre-decommissioning unitary taxation and that the conservation and public access frameworks for
lands surrounding Diablo Canyon continue to move forward.
CCCT urges the San Luis Obispo City Council to join us in supporting this balanced approach of clean energy,
fiscal stability, and environmental conservation serves both local communities and the broader interests of the
State.
Sincerely,
Cory Black
