Dear Secretary Vietti-Cook:
As a Hudson Valley resident, I am writing today to express my support for the relicensing of the Indian Point Energy Center located in Buchanan, New York. The continued operation of Indian Point plays an integral role in preserving local land values and maintaining a reliable and low-cost energy source.
I believe that the Indian Point Energy Center is critical asset for the Hudson Valley region and for the State of New York. Ir represents an irreplaceable local land use value in that it is nearly impossible to license and build power generation facilites. electrical transmission lines, natural gas lines or even green energy sources (wind) in the lower Hudson Valley region.
From an electric reliability standpoint, Indian Point supplies between 25% and 30% of the electricity for New York City and the lower Westchester County area. It is critical to the baseload supply of electricity in maintaining electric grid reliability since building electrical transmission facilities to work around the removal of these plants is not likely to happen in the near future.
To keep the lights on and my wife's air conditioning running. I support the relicensing of the Indian Point Energy Center and urge the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to do the same.
Sincerely, Kevin/
-N.
