Hydroelectric power could be a potential alternative as the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station is located near the coast and could potentially harness the power of ocean waves. Additionally, Southern California also has a number of dams and rivers that could be used to generate hydroelectric power. Geothermal, biomass, and fuel cells are not as viable options in this environment.
