Mario Cuomo shutdown the Shoreham Nuclear Plant ( one reactor at 820 Megawatts) on Long Island after it had achieved criticality (self-sustaining fission chain reaction) but before it had generated any electricity in 1989.

Now, his son wants to shutdown the Indian Point Energy Center (two reactors with a combined capacity of just under 2100 MW).

I wonder where the replacement power will come from.

WV could maybe help out, however our electricity is generated from coal and gas and they are evil, so that will not work.

PA, WV and eastern OH have a great deal of gas, there are several pipelines now in works to get it to users.

Some of the better shale formations are in NY, yet you are ruled by progressive/communists who think you are not paying enough for energy.
