Do you want to have
more CO2 emissions ?
Do you want to have
more expensive
electricity?
Do you want to lower
the reliability of the
electric grid ?
People in New York
State, where I was born
and spent my first 24 years,
got all three wants satisfied
by closing down another
Indian Point nuclear
reactor.
That decision benefits no one.
Although perhaps a victory
for climate alarmists and
other anti-Americans ?
Indian Point is along the
Hudson River, 36 miles
north of New York City.
The last of the three
nuclear reactors at
Indian Point, is scheduled
to be shut down next year.
Nuclear fear is promoted by
dishonest environmentalists,
such as the Natural Resources
Defense Council (NRDC).
Nuclear power is safe.
Fear was created by the movie
China Syndrome in the 1970s,
about a meltdown that would send
a cloud of radiation covering
the entire state of Pennsylvania.
In reality, it's impossible for t
he reactor core to burrow
into the ground and reach
the water table, if the core
were to melt.
Every reactor in the US,
and probably other countries,
has a thick concrete reinforced
steel base under the reactor,
where melting material
would be caught.
The Fukushima disaster
proved that -- no one was
killed by radiation there.
The Indian Point reactors
are high above sea level
so back up diesels that
supply power
to the reactor,
in the event power
from the grid becomes
unavailable, are safe.
Reactors can’t explode
like an atomic bomb.
Some people
don't know that.
Even if terrorists
blew up a react6or,
there would be
very little danger
to the population
in New York City
because the
melted core
would be caught
melted core
would be caught
by the concrete base.
