Vermont and New York lead the movement to shut down nuclear reactors

Shut down dangerous old nuclear reactors, Greenpeace USA,  by Jarred Cobb – March 24, 2011 “….The federal government has failed for years to provide appropriate oversight of nuclear reactors, but fortunately, two states are leading the fight to close down their dangerous old nuclear reactors.  In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo has been a longtime critic of Indian Point, and has called for a safety review of the reactors.  In Vermont, where the state legislature voted overwhelmingly last year to close Vermont Yankee as scheduled in 2012, over 600 people gathered outside the reactor on Sunday to show solidarity with the people of Japan and call for the plant to be shut down.This Monday, March 28, people across the country will be showing their support for the people of Japan and calling for a world free of nuclear disasters.
