Putnam County official concerned with Indian Point closure

Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell is expressing concerns with the closing of Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in neighboring Westchester.  She says union workers and their families will be particularly affected as they are employed by Entergy.  Adding to potential unemployment, Odell says the County currently sources a portion of its power from Indian Point’s nuclear generators.  She says it remains unclear how Putnam County will replace this power and at what cost to the taxpayers.  The aging plant will close in 2021 under a deal with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
