Astorino: ‘Secret Deal’ To Shut Indian Point ‘Potentially Catastrophic’

Indian Point’s two active nuclear power plants will close by April 2021 under a deal confirmed Friday by Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, who called the secret deal “a complete surprise to us” and “potentially catastrophic.” Astorino, a Republican, said that neither Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, nor the plants’ New Orleans-based owner, Entergy, informed him, or the municipalities most affected about the plan.
