Good question. The Humbolt current from Alaska brings very cold water southward along the California coast. When you see Californians Surfing they are wearing wetsuits because the water is very cold. Cold water means dry air above, so the westward airflow is very dry. On the East Coast, the Gulf stream brings very warm water northwards. While the Gulf of Mexico supplies moisture that the cool dry air coming from the West precipitates as rain. "Tornado Alley" is also the result of that weather pattern.

Britain's nuclear power stations were built on the west coast due to historical reasons, such as the availability of cooling water from the sea and proximity to population centers. This location also reduces the risk of radioactive contamination spreading over densely populated areas in case of an accident. However, newer nuclear power stations are being built inland to diversify the locations.
