Here in California the narrative control over nuclear is ramping up to keep the aged Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant open for an undetermined time. It had been slated for closure and decommissioning a couple of years ago. The very first paragraph from the article today in the San Diego Union-Tribune states that Diablo is the biggest source of electricity in the state which is a bald-faced lie. The largest energy source in California is solar, which has been known now for a decade. No Nukes.
Fair enough. I am wrong about that. From Wikipedia for what it's worth:
Natural gas (47%)
Renewables - Solar (14%)
Renewables - Wind (7%)
Renewables - Other (Geothermal, biomass, etc.) (11%)
Large hydro (11%)
Nuclear (9%)
Certainly it does not mean that the nuclear energy crime syndicate is not full of shit. Our Governor is a spineless noodle and he's playing ball with those fiends. Thanks comrade.
He's pretty spine-FULL, in a sniveling, suck-up kinda kleptocrat way, actually? He's just on the OTHER side! The list you cite also ignores Coal, Bio-mass, fracked oil & gas (and MORE coal) based electricity from HUGE out of state plants, as reservoirs are replaced by desert gorges, dustbowls & fire storms. Which the trolls referred to as exaggerated fear mongering, 57yrs ago, when API's president gave his "Time is running OUT" speech & Exxon's incredibly accurate chart of AGW atmospheric carbon was well underway (but nobody knew we'd be so desperate, our government & academia so corrupted to FRACK with Schlumberger's admittedly suicidal directional drilled, slick-water high volume BS).

Best estimate for total solar-generated power in California is 24% which does NOT make it the largest energy source. LOLZ
