New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo is shuttering N.Y.'s Indian Point nuclear plant by 2021 and is proposing to replace that power with 2,400 megawatts¹ of expensive offshore wind turbines that he wants constructed by 2030. New York's renewable energy mandate requires 50 percent of the state's electricity to come from renewable energy by that date. Indian Point, which is located about 30 miles north of New York City, produces about a quarter of the electricity used in New York City and Westchester County. Gov. Cuomo wants to shutter the plant because he believes that operating a nuclear plant so close to a major population center is a potential safety hazard.²
