Please call New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's office right away at (518) 474-8390, or message him here. Gov. Cuomo has ordered the NY Public Service Commission (PSC) to approve a $10 billion bailout for the state's dirty, dangerous, and financially failing atomic reactors, at ratepayer expense. The PSC could act as soon as Monday, August 1st, so please take action immediately! Click here for some simple instructions and sample call scripts you can use when you call. Propping up New York's four age-degraded atomic reactors on the Lake Ontario shore (FitzPatrick, Ginna, Nine Mile Point 1 & 2) would put the drinking water supply for nine million people in two countries at increasing risk of breakdown phase disaster. Incredibly, Indian Point Units 2 & 3 near New York City now appear to be eligible for the ratepayer bailout too. Indian Point's safety and security risks threaten more than 20 million people within a 50-mile radius. All these reactors need to be shutdown before they melt down. This bad precedent must be nipped in the bud, lest it add momentum to nuclear bailout schemes in numerous other states, including CT, IL, NJ, PA, and others. More.
