worth 1.1 billion dollars to go to pg and e to help the utility continue operating the plant. i couldn't be more thrilled. republican assembly member jordan cunningham of san luis obispo has long led the fight to keep the plant open, at least for the near future. the facility was originally scheduled to close in 2025, but with the governor's backing a bipartisan support, the legislature approved a plan over the summer to keep blow open until his latest 2030 with supporters arguing it provides clean energy and supplies about 9% of the state's power without it. we've got not just rolling brownouts. we're talking massive numbers of blackout, which is bad for people's health. >> that the rate payers bad for the economy and it's just bad all around. opponents have expressed concerns over seismic safety and have argued the plant is just too costly. but backers say at least a limited extension is vital a sentiment the governor echoed during our one-on-one interview in september just after the state went through a record heat wave. what do you think could have happened if

we did not have diablo canyon, we would have absolutely triggered into what we call load reduction otherwise referred to as black question. >> we didn't have to have a period full stop. the international brotherhood of electrical workers union maintains keeping the plant will save thousands of jobs. >> high wage high benefit jobs. i think it's a resource that we can reasonably rely on not forever, but for some time into the future. >> and blow still needs to go to environmental reviews from several state agencies and commissions before its life extension can formally be approved. reporting here outside the state capitol eytan wallace kron. 4 news. >> a major loss for former president trump today after a 3 year legal fight. the u.s. supreme court has cleared the way for a house committee to receive his tax returns. the court refused trump's request to block the release in the final weeks of democratic control of the house. the order was unsigned and did not note any dissent. the decision
