Indian Point Nuclear Reactor – A Dead End For Future Energy Needs
Indian Point (and Nuclear Power) Take a Hit | Climate Change, By Bill Hewitt April 4 10″…….Indian Point, if you don’t know, is one of the oldest nuclear power facilities in the US. Unit 1 opened in 1962 and ran until 1974, but Units 2 and 3, opened in the mid-1970s and are still running. Indian Point, by the way, is just downriver from Storm King Mountain over which one of the first big victories of the environmental movement was won…… “‘That power is replaceable,’ said Alex Matthiessen, president of environmental group Riverkeeper. ‘The evidence for why the plant doesn’t meet state water-quality standards is overwhelming,’ he said, adding Indian Point accounts for the deaths of about a billion fish a year and that the group estimates cooling towers could be constructed for $200 million to $300 million.”Beyond Indian Point, Matthiessen’s assertion about nuclear power being replaceable is completely correct. We really ought not to be going further down this dead end road when there is already so much proven potential in renewables, energy efficiency, and all the other clean tech approaches that are coming so rapidly into play.
