I see your tsunami evacuation route - and raise you a nuclear plant emergency evacuation bus stop!

One has to wonder why Hochul is proposing the slowest, most expensive method of producing electricity (nuclear plants) as a way to address climate change.
Solar power that can be installed in about a year would require 10+ years for nuke plants - meaning an extra 9 or more years of fossil fuel use!

Not to mention the health hazards of living near a nuclear plant - every one of which emits radiation during normal operations - or the scale of displacement from a nuclear waste accident.

Hard to believe that the industry thinks SMRs are a viable business rather than simply a way to harvest subsidies.
It’s even more puzzling that folks providing those subsidies keep going.
Paying an estimated 3 times as much per MWH & waiting 5+ times as long for implementation is incomprehensible!

The fossil fuel industry is trying to divide the environmental movement with false claims about the ‘problems’ caused by renewables.

Thanks for showing her original question that got her targeted.
The ‘rules’ for this event clearly show that Lawler didn’t want to engage with us - he wanted to lecture us: 30 seconds limit on questions & no followup allowed, no videos of his non-answers, press couldn’t talk to attendees, etc!

Interesting that after the grid outage in Spain, coal and nuclear are out as wind and solar recover.

There were a lot of people protesting outside of the event.
Many of them referring to the difference between what Lawler says and how Lawler votes.
This woman’s sign attracted a lot of attention - including from an amused dentist.
Oh wait - that’s me!

If the tech bros think the tariffs are about economic policy & they can change his mind, they are seriously deluded
The tariffs are just a mafia-style ‘protection racket’
He’s done the same thing to gov officials, universities & wealthy law firms
Now almost every country is subject to extortion:

That wasn’t the only protest in NY State yesterday.
About 600 people attended a rally in Westchester that reaffirmed our commitment to fight against the corrupt Trump administration.
NY Lt. Governor Delgado spoke forcefully about our leaders’ obligation to protect us and our democracy:

Now the nuclear industry is trying to promote nuke plants as a way to address climate change.
One fact that’s overlooked: nuclear is the most expensive way to produce electricity.
Consistently late and over budget it has no place in any rational energy plan!

And they are currently trying to expand the pipeline feeding that compressor station.
This ‘Maple’ project will be yet another segmented expansion of the ‘Algonquin’ fracked gas pipeline.
Doing it incrementally means there is no full environmental review of this unneeded infrastructure.

Every dollar spent on nuclear power (whether for new plants or to revive zombie plants) could produce multiple the kilowatts if invested in actual renewables - and on a much shorter timeline.
Interest in nukes is all about the subsidies - and guess who’s paying for those.

There was never a workable evacuation plan for Indian Point. A fuel pool fire would have affected an area far larger than any plan could possibly have covered. Here’s the modeled permanent evacuation area under 12-1–15 weather conditions.
When the NRC can’t “solve” a problem, it simply ignores it.
