  • Indian Point, the aging, leaking nuclear power plant across the river from Rockland, is asking for a twenty year extension of their license.   What's the status of the relicensing process? 
  • Update on the legal proceedings with the NRC and DEC
  • Is nuclear power the answer to climate change? 
  • If Indian Point were closed, how would we replace that power? 
  • What would be the impact of radionuclides in the river on our drinking water if United Water moves ahead with desalination of the Hudson? 

 

Cofounder of Westchester Citizens Awareness Network and one of the leaders in the Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition, Marilyn has been working to close Indian Point for the last 17 years.
