I'm all for more nuclear power displacing natural gas and coal and worse things until we can find a way to deploy renewable energy faster. Nuclear is near-zero carbon, it's just not renewable, but that's less of a problem in the short term.
What I don't like is that Diablo Canyon is built on the shoreline, which is ripe for another Fukushima-like disaster in the event of a tsunami that hits California.
Even if that cliff edge is high it may destabilize with a high enough wave.
