Mission

The Abalone Alliance is committed to a permanent halt to the construction and operation of nuclear power plants in California. Since nuclear power is dangerous to all life, the Alliance encourages the real alternatives of conservation and safe, clean and renewable sources of energy. The Abalone Alliance was formed by activists statewide in 1977 to oppose the Pacific Gas and Electric's plans to build and operate the Diablo Canyon nuclear facility near San Luis Obispo.
