ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York lawmakers are demanding to know how Governor Andrew Cuomo plans to close Indian Point nuclear plant without disrupting the power supply to Putnam County and elsewhere. 

At a hearing yesterday, Republican state Senator Terrence Murphy said the public deserves answers about how the state plans to replace the power lost when the facility 35 miles from the Brewster area shuts down in 2021.

State officials say energy efficiency, improved transmission lines and expanded renewable sources like wind and solar will make up the difference. They predicted ``negligible'' to no effect on utility bills.
