we actually did it and the funding is officially being withheld. i am honestly blown away that we got them to back down on this and stop the waste of money. stay sharp because we need to make sure they follow through but for today just celebrate this huge win.

Your signature on this Petition will send a message, loud and clear to the California Public Utility Commission (CPUC) that the application they approved for Edison was shortsighted and funding must be withheld before vast amounts of ratepayer money gets wasted along with many of our other most cherished resources in California.
Any day now, Edison will be moving deadly nuclear waste that is currently being stored safely under water in pools at San Onofre and placing them into dry storage canisters that were only designed for temporary use. These inferior containers must eventually be replaced with thicker casks designed for longer term storage. We will have to pay twice and double the cost of handling the most lethal materials known to mankind, instead of doing it right the first time.
The CPUC has the responsibility to spend our money wisely, but you don't need to be a nuclear scientist to know that such is not the case. It is as if they authorized the purchase of a cheap car that can't be maintained or repaired, but can leak gasoline and burst into flames with no warning. It is not too late to return the keys to the dealer and tell them we want an upgrade. That is what this petition insists upon in the simplest terms, (hear the "car salesman's" pitch at this link).
Time is running out before we pass the point of no return. Please sign this petition and send an urgent message to all of your contacts to do the same. The CPUC must immediately halt any further progress to allow time to reconsider. Once these thin, temporary, unreliable containers get loaded, we'll have doubled the cost in more ways than one.

After signing, you will end up on a page asking for a donation to I-Petitions, (not to our cause). That is great if you choose to do so, but we want you to understand that this is entirely optional. You can close the window at that point and you will still be entered on the petition without making a donation.
Thank you!

As a resident of Southern California I object to the myopic policy to store the SONGS waste on site in fragile containers. The release of the waste into the Pacific Ocean would be a global event, poisoning the entire ocean. We are all parties and victims of this policy.
My family lives there and I would consider moving close to them in the future. This decision could change my mind. It is a thoughtlessly proposed option. If other countries can do better so can we. Do what is best for the people and not make it an economic issue.
DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN! THIS IS A PRIVATE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD PAY THE EXPENSE OF REMOVING THE NUCLEAR WASTE AND TAKING IT TO STORE IT FOR PERPETUITY. THE STOCKHOLDERS MADE MONEY AND NOW MUST FOOT THE BILL!!
There is such a cloud of controversy and public suspicion about the way the original permit was issued that it behooves the Commission to restore trust by suspending the permit until a proper vote and an informed public discussion can occur.
Nothing about the storage of this nuclear waste will be "temporary" as in an interim short-term solution to be resolved in my life time so let's a least use an appropriate container that can be transported, monitored and is as safe as possible for this "temporary" location.
Not a good idea folks
This issue is of highest priority. The day after will be far too late and too costly even to imagine. Our Gold cost will be no more. every one has to moved with homes, property and business will become worthless over night. Edison will become totally bankrupt, their chief executives will be no where to be found, and they would claim it was an act of GOD. No, it was an act of pure stupidity and Greed. Time to take care of this issue is NOW and it is not forever. The responsibility rest with California Government, the Governor Brown, our two State Senators, State, County and the City officials . You love the Ocean, Love the Beach, Love the Sunset, love the environment, then it will not be there anymore. All will be destroyed due to some ignorant and in inept Policy passing the Buck or Kicking the Can down the Road. SCR Operational Permit should be revoked and both SDGE and SCE open up and take care of the cost of this problem which they have created by storing over 4,000 Ton of Nuclear Waste on Site. Support the Cause, Support the movement, it is our problem to solve .Thank you

Calif. is ground zero for quakes...it's insane that nuclear power plants were even built here...let alone after decommissioning SONGS that Edison is being allowed to "store" the nuclear waste in thin-walled containers INCAPABLE OF SUSTAINING CONTAINMENT due to cracking, etc.
