Sign our Petition to let California build Nuclear again

California is one of the most progressive, productive, and innovative economies in the world. Yet we are ceding our clean energy leadership because we have put blinders on about nuclear power. We are petitioning to change this anachronistic paradigm because nuclear waste hasn't hurt anyone but climate change is going to destroy our future. There are plenty of solutions to nuclear waste but just a few types of energy that can compete with fossil fuels and nuclear is one. California needs to deploy more nuclear power if we want to succeed in achieving zero-carbon energy by 2045 while also providing abundant and reliable power to our economy.  This petition seeks to get the CEC to determine that there are a plethora of safe solutions to nuclear waste as well as reprocessing capabilities coming online to satisfy the terms of the existing laws, such that the CEC can begin issuing permits again and preparing to bring California into the 21st Century on energy.
