In a major victory for environmental advocates, New York State has ruled that outmoded cooling technology at the nuclear power plant kills so many Hudson River fish, and consumes and contaminates so much water, that it violates the federal Clean Water Act.
The decision is a blow to the plant’s owner, the Entergy Corporation, which now faces the prospect of having to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build stadium-size cooling towers, or risk that Indian Point’s two operating reactors — which supply 30 percent of the electricity used by New York City and Westchester County — could be forced to shut down.
... Alex Matthiessen, president of the environmental group Riverkeeper, said it was conceivable that Entergy could spend the money to retrofit its cooling system and then reapply to the state. But that would cause a huge delay, he added.
“For all we know, this is it — the beginning of the end,” he said.
MAJOR VICTORY!?!? FOR, ER . . . UM, WHAT: MAYBE FORCING THE CLOSURE OF A CLEAN NUCLEAR POWER PLANT THAT PROVIDES 30% OF NY'S POWER!?!?
THE LEFT IS TRULY INSANE.
BETWEEN THIS CRAP, THEIR SUPPORT FOR OBAMACARE, CO2 TAXES - AND THEIR SUPPORT OF APPEASING GLOBAL JIHAD - ONE MUST REALLY CONCLUDE THAT THE LEFT HAS MAJOR SUICIDAL TENDENCIES.
DON'T GO ALONG WITH THEM. FIGHT THEM.
VOTE GOP IN NOVEMBER.
Damn environazis, make me ill. So where will the 30% loss of electricity come from?
ReplyDeleteAlternative or green energy sources, Ha ha. That is a good one. How about a rate
increase to the rate payers, and THEN we will worry about where the energy will
come from. Just like Obamacare. It is all about the lies. Obama will kill coal,
nuclear, natural gas and he will not care about the rate payers. That means you
and me. I better go chunk up the woodstove with some picthy pine logs before they tax
and outlaw that too. To hell with these libtards and earth muffins. Kill them at the
polls in November!
RIGHT ON!
