NY's Indian Point To Close by 2021

摘要

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Jan. 9 announced that the Indian Point nuclear power plant, sited about 30 miles north of New York City, will close by 2021. He cited concern that the plant, owned by Entergy Corp., has had nine leaks in the past year alone. But company officials pointed to the deteriorating economics of the 1970s-era facility, particularly falling energy prices, high operating costs and relicensing that already has cost the firm $200 million.
