The Berkeley City Council votes on a resolution to decommission California nuclear plants and transition to green non-nuclear generation sources. Resolution to decommission California nuclear plants and transition to green non-nuclear generation sources that asks Governor Brown to call upon the California Public Utilities Commission to take action; urges President Barack Obama and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission  to reverse their support of nuclear power, stop loan guarantees to the nuclear energy industry, shut down nuclear facilities operating in seismically active areas of the U.S., establish a moratorium on building new nuclear reactors and investing in clean, renewable energy;  and insists that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission withhold license renewal for Diablo Canyon and San Onofre Nuclear Power plants until seismic issues and off-site permanent storage are resolved.

Both the rally and the resolution were sponsored by the Berkeley Peace & Justice Commission.
