Through http://cgnp.org/ Dr. Alex Cannara is providing expert testimony on the value of Diablo Canyon Power Plant.

Sample of their testimony: http://www.cgnp.org/CGNP_Rebuttal_Testimony_03-17-17.pdf

Californians for Green Nuclear Power is a collection of individuals, many of whom are scientists, who appreciate the benefits that that nuclear power offers for our environment and the ratepayers of our state. Those benefits include power that is reliable, low-cost, stable, and free of greenhouse-gas emissions. Earlier in this proceeding, we presented testimony from engineers and scientists, educated at top universities, with decades of experience on the issues being considered.

Those same individuals have studied the other testimony submitted in this proceeding, and evaluated it based on engineering principles, peer-reviewed scientific data, and their real
world experience. We note that the prepared testimony of the numerous parties present widely varying views of the proposed Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) closure. Many of the parties support the DCPP closure but oppose the replacement tranches and ratepayer payments for the proposed Employee Programs and the Proposed Community Impacts Mitigation Program.

The Commission must discount the testimony from vested interests of the anti-nuclear parties who have long opposed the operation of DCPP. The Commission should also disregard the testimony from parties who stand to reap financial benefits from the closure.
