State Sen. Terrence Murphy, just one of many elected officials who said they felt blindsided by Indian Point's planned closure, said Monday that he may probe the deal between Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the nuclear power plant's operators, Entergy, according to a report by politico.com. An investigation will be launched, he told politico.com, if he can't get answers to questions about lost revenues and jobs, and about the safety of the Buchanan facility after it's shuttered.
County, school and local governments are going to have to "take the bull by the horns" if Westchester is to survive the financial fallout of Indian Point's closure, says County Executive Rob Asterino. Gov. Andrew Cuomo startled everyone from local officials to environmental groups this month when he announced that the Buchanan facility would be shuttered in stages, from 2020 to 2021, 13 and 14 years earlier, respectively, than required under the anticipated federal re-licensing terms.
If folks in Buchanan and the surrounding area heard what sounded like gunfire on Friday, they should not be worried, says a spokeswoman for Entergy Corporation. It's only a scheduled drill.
