New York is planning to build the nation’s first new major nuclear power plant in more than 15 years, Gov. Kathy Hochul said Monday.
The “zero-admission advanced” plant in an upstate New York location still to be determined would generate 1 gigawatt of electricity — enough to juice up to 1 million homes, Hochul said.
“If we don’t increase New York’s electricity supply in a major way, we’re going to risk losing our opportunities,” Hochul told a crowd outside the Niagara Power Project, a generating facility downstream from Niagara Falls. “They can go elsewhere, but we want them here.”
The announcement represents a major shift in nuclear power in the Empire State — just four years after then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo closed Indian Point nuclear plant in upper Westchester County.

Terrorist in sleeper cell. "Great. No details on the location. Where are we going to set up the explosives to spread the radioactive fallout?"
Now restart Indian Point,and build one more .
“”” plant in an upstate New York location still to be determined “””
Let the protests and lawsuits begin. I doubt it will ever be built.
They turned the old generating plant into a museum. The tunnel that returns the water to the Niagara river is now an observation deck. Amazing. Growing up in Buffalo, I visited Niagara Falls many times. Nothing compares to this unique vantage point.
Built between the legs of
WHORECHUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe this is why she was acting like a scolded dog at the White House a couple of months ago? The dogs you see on youtube who squint their eyes and smile when they’ve been caught in the act?
She’s full of crap. She’ll run for re-election on it and then kill it if she wins.
Truly a broken clock moment.
“...the nation’s first new major nuclear power plant in more than 15 years...”
-
???
Georgia started up two new ones last year.
???
Are one of the Cuomo boys going to close this new plant at the last minute - like their dad Mario did to the last one (on Long Island)?
We have so much gas in NY and Pa...a lot easier than a Nuke Plant
Get the right people behind it and it happens!
Put the nuclear plant in eastern NY where a power plant is needed. Let the locals have the power from Niagara Falls.
No doubt it's so Hochul can give kickbacks to her friends and big donors. Hochul and Cuomo have a bad history of cutting deals, constructing buildings for the people they made the deals with, and then the deal falling through and the buildings sold for far less than the millions it cost to build them.
Here's the latest snafu:
NY auctions off unused decorative lights in $100 million Cuomo boondoggle
The power is not for New York citizens, it's for AI oversight and control of New York citizens.
WHAT! Not rainbows and unicorn farts?
Just watch...they will build the plant, all the way up to the point of pulling rods, and then vote to defuel and dismantle it. And it won’t be the first time.
When you Google Indian Point, the Wiki is actually listing the huge cost of decommissioning Indian point, as well as 1000 jobs. It was replaced by fossil fuel plants.
Lot of liberals including e.g. Bernie Sanders were defending Indian Point.
Basically battle between “no nukes” and “global warming scare”, both favorite liberal topics.
In this case global warming lost!
So it is not so surprising that she wants to build another one. No Co2 emissions, safe reliable power. What else do you want?
We should be increasing GAS production...cheaper and readily available.
