Ifall our fuel looked like this,
electricity would be cheaper.
PG&E was one of the nation’ first
utilities to develop the peaceful use of
the atom into a heat source for the
generation of electricity. We participated
in the first commercial nuclear power
plant, Vallecitos in Alameda County, in
1957, and our pioneering plant at Humboldt Bay brought 65,000 kilowatts orr

produced in a nuclear plant is just the

used to generate it is different.
