POWERING DOWN IN NEW YORK:

Does state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo want to send New York into a literal dark age?

The AG, among others, was up in arms last week over a report commissioned by Entergy Nuclear – the owner of the Indian Point nuclear power plant in Westchester – that concluded that the greenhouse-gas-free source of New York’s juice was, indeed, safe.

“It’s no surprise that Entergy’s panel of paid consultants has turned a blind eye to the unacceptable risks posed by Indian Point,” Cuomo huffed.

Cuomo, of course, has been trying to get the plant closed for more than a year now – playing upon apocalyptic fears of environmental destruction or terrorist attack.

But as far as “unacceptable risks” go, how about this one: What happens to New York if there isn’t enough juice to meet demand?
