Many of the same
warnings Mario Cuomo heard in the 1980s
about Shoreham are the same ones his son hears today from supporters of Indian Point: Closing a nuclear plant will result in blackouts, a less reliable electric grid and increased air pollution as fossil fuels are burned to replace the
lost emissions - free nuclear power; customers could face higher bills; more than 1,000
jobs will be
lost, and tax revenue for schools and towns will dissipate.
