He has also led the charge to shut down the Indian Point Energy Center, throwing away for no good reason 2,000 MW of emissions-free capacity.

I guess he thinks NY State's energy will come from wind and solar, i.e., pixie dust and unicorn farts. Cuomo's compadre, Bernie Sanders, likewise was responsible in large measure for destroying the Vermont Yankee plant, putting over 600 of his constituents out of work. Bernie said that Vermont could replace VY's output with windmills and solar panels and, being the dismissive son of a beehive that he is, said the employees at VY could all find new work in the wind and solar industries. He never admitted the fundamental truth that a moderate-sized nuclear plant like Vermont Yankee produced more energy in one year than the total combined production of every windmill and solar panel in New England and New York State.
