Docket, Hearing
Subject:
Indian Point ADJUDICATORY DOCKET OF THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION RULEMAKINGS AND ADJUDICATIONS STAFF OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Indian Point nuclear energy facility is a danger to all residents of New York City and State within a 50+ radius. Residents of the area know it is outdated, decaying, and actively polluting the Hudson River and its tributaries with radioactive materials, killing wildlife dependent on its waters, and posing a threat to millions of human lives in the wake of a disaster. Perhaps you can appreciate the fact that in conditions such as heavy rains,our parkways and highways become clogged with traffic that moves at a snail's pace. What would happen when millions of people take to the road in a panic state to get away?...gridlock and then surely road rage of the mob variety. I don't want to be around for that.
Tell Entergy to instead build or upgrade the existing electric power grids which would do more to provide adequate power, since low usage customers could then give back their surplus to the grid.
This facility, which is at the edge of a river and located under a fly zone is extremely vulnerable to climate change affects and terrorist attack. Pushing the envelope by allowing this plant to continue for another two decades, can't just be about jobs lost, since there are superior technologies that generate jobs as well as substitute for this type of energy which produces radioactive waste that is a menace to us all. If something goes wrong, think of the lawsuits-can NY handle that? I would gladly pay more for energy to have the peace of mind to not be living near a disaster waiting to happen.
It's time to let go of the old and embrace the new. It makes sense in every way and for all reasons, except to the energy company that's dug in to fight to sputter on and doesn't want to dean up the mess they've made. Please don't make it easy for them. Make them accountable and don't reduce regulations that are in place to protect our environment.
Consider cleaner energy alternatives.
