The problem with shutting down Indian point is that NYC will then have a deficit of 1,300 MW (20% normal load) that will have to be made up somewhere else. If people wanted Indian point shut down they should have started building a new plant 6 years ago.
Solar and Wind will not be able to make that up, so it will either mean NYC will have to buy power from further away, or build more coal/oil/gas plants.

This report presents the work of the National Research Councils (NRCs) Committee on Alternatives to Indian Point for Meeting Energy Needs. It reviews the options that are available and assesses the feasibility of installing them on a scale sufficient to replace the 2,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity from the Indian Point Energy Center.

This is a discussion board, people will have opinions. if you can't handle that go to a jeopardy website, they deal in facts only.
Spare me your BS, Marty. YOU tried to pass off your opinion, supposition and conjecture as FACT. And when FACTUALLY proven wrong, you don't have the maturity or the cojones just to cop to that. Grow up.
