NY Lawmakers to review plan to close nuclear plant

Some New York lawmakers are demanding more information about plans to close Indian Point nuclear plant in Westchester County by 2021.

Today's legislative hearing will focus on the environmental and health implications of shuttering the facility, which sits along the lower Hudson River, 30 miles from Ridgefield.

While it is unlikely lawmakers could prevent Indian Point from closing, some have expressed worries about the state's ability to make up for the lost power. Putnam County currently sources a portion of its power from Indian Point’s nuclear generators.

 

County Executive MaryEllen Odell says union workers and their families will be particularly affected as they are employed by Entergy.
