A giant gas pipeline has been approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and will skirt the Indian Point nuclear power plant in Westchester, New York by 105 feet. This is a lunatic venture and should be protested by as many people as possible.
Why is this important?
I am scared to death of the Spectra corporate Algonquin Pipeline extension which will come within 105 feet of the Indian Point nuclear power plant, creating a potential Fukushima on the Hudson. This is a fact attested to by independent experts including Paul Blanch, a 50-year nuclear power and energy engineer and Richard Kuprewicz, a pipeline expert of 40 years' experience. There is no other pipeline that comes close to a nuclear plant.
