Point Energy Center Nuclear Plant Retirement Analysis “We
find that there are likely to be ample existing and new resources available
to replace Indian Point if it were to retire; and that neither New York
City’s nor New York State’s electricity reliability would be jeopardized. A
replacement scenario focusing on cost-effective demand-side resources, local
renewable resources, repowering of existing older inefficient power plants
and new efficient generation as necessary would maintain reliability at a low
cost to electricity customers.” Also check out NUCLEAR SAFETY NOW. We are ALL in
this together. Print this petition and ask everyone you know to sign

Indian Point 2 & 3 which are operating under their original 40 year
licenses, expiring in 2013 and 2015, respectively. Both IP2 and IP3 have been
plagued with major safety problems for decades. As the reactors age, Indian
Point will experience an increasing number of equipment and safety-related
failures. What's at stake? With the NRC’s demonstrated lack
of effective oversight and Entergy’s apparent disregard for public safety,
renewing Indian Point’s licenses for another twenty years puts 20 million
people at risk. December, 2010: New

PRESS COVERAGE AND OFFICIAL RESPONSES. See a brief history of the Indian Point Safe Energy
Coalition here. The Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition (IPSEC) is a coalition of environmental, health and public
policy organizations, founded in 2001 to address the vulnerability of the
nuclear reactors at Indian Point.
Over 20 million people live within 50 miles of the plant. Our concerns include both existing
radiation releases and potential additional releases from either human error,
aging infrastructure or terrorism, and the flawed, unfixable evacuation plan.
Our grassroots efforts have enlisted the support of hundreds of local, state
and federal officials. IPSEC members are currently fighting the
proposed 20-year relicensing of the aging, leaking reactors. Nuclear power is neither clean nor
green! Conservation and
renewable energy sources hold the key to a sustainable future for the Hudson
Valley Region. We welcome new members. Contact
