FamousNYLover Posted September 27, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2011 I don`t want to bump old thread from March. I just saw on facebook. Is anyone here planning to join them against Nuclear Power Point? Almost every states are doing rally against Nuclear Power Plant, including Canada. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=243481852330015 http://www.coalitionagainstnukes.org/ http://www.shutdownindianpointnow.org/ Gov. Andrew Coumo is also against Indian Point Power Plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted September 27, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2011 Has Yuki become political in joining these protests Yuki i thought you hated politcs? Has the folks at NYPIRG changed your mind? Just confused. Still not a knock just stating my takes. I don`t want to bump old thread from March. I just saw on facebook.

FamousNYLover Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted September 27, 2011 I am interest against Nuclear Power Plant, Stop Horse Abused, etc beside rally against Albany for dedicate transit fund. I don`t really hate but only speaking policals like grand opening of RIT, opening of new South Ferry, or debate is so boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousNYLover Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted September 27, 2011 After Fukushima Incident, I began to take interest in many Nuclear Protest I could find on facebook and petition site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbluefoxie Posted September 28, 2011 Share #5 Posted September 28, 2011 I plan on supporting Indian Point, they generate 25% of NYC's power according to their radio ad, they have strict safety requirements, and it wasnt the earthquake that killed the Japanese plant it was the tidal wave afterwards. The hudson river doesnt have waves like that. With the ever increasing digital lives we live, and with people trying to buy electric cars, we are going to need all the power we can get. They should also finish the Shoreham plant as well instead of it sitting there idle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted September 28, 2011 Share #6 Posted September 28, 2011 Protesting against Indian Point? Wow, must be bored or something. Why not do something productive? They should also finish the Shoreham plant as well instead of it sitting there idle. The real zinger is that Shoreham was finished but the scaredy-cat politicians forced them to decommission the plant. While the plant did not produce electric commercially, it did undergo low power testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted September 28, 2011 Share #7 Posted September 28, 2011 More eco-psycho nonsense. They don't want coal plants, we can't build hydro-electric dams the size of the Hoover Dam, we have to cut down on oil use, Wind turbines are shit if the wind is too strong or weak and ppl don't want them offshore blocking their ocean view.... WTF do they want? I'd prefer ppl like those be rounded up and dumped in the woods if they don't want the power sources. Complain, complain, complain.... how about decent alternatives then?

QM1to6Ave Posted September 28, 2011 Share #8 Posted September 28, 2011 It is ridiculous to be "against" nuclear power. It is inherently a safe, clean, and efficient method of producing energy (by the way, those big clouds that come out of a nuclear power plant are just plain steam, nothing harmful in them). It is fair to demand adequate security and fire/disaster protection plans and equipment to protect the plants. None of which Indian Point actually has. I believe they have a fire suppression system that covers 40% of the campus. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSpectacular Posted September 28, 2011 Share #9 Posted September 28, 2011 It's not the nuclear power plants I dislike, but the waste that gets put into those big ass canisters and buried/ditched somewhere... You're eventually going to run out of space... What're you going to do with the spent fuel rods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTARegional Bus Posted September 28, 2011 Share #11 Posted September 28, 2011 If you Think about it people die more for oil then Nuclear Energy, Why do you Think japan build so many plants? so they could be independent from foreign oil, so what do you want America? want to friends with dictators that you don't like and go to war? or finding an alternative? finding sources of energy will always have risks but Nuclear Energy less destructive then oil.

Joe Posted September 28, 2011 Share #13 Posted September 28, 2011 Life is full of risks. On my way to class in the morning an errant bus can hop the curb on Flatbush Ave. and kill me. Do I stop going to class because of this? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R68 Subway Car Posted September 28, 2011 Share #14 Posted September 28, 2011 I cannot stand these freaking enviro-marxists. They are against oil, coal and everything else imaginable. These jerks would love to have live like we were back in the 16th century. Also, as lilbluefoxie brilliantly pointed out, the meltdown of Fukushima was because of the tsunami, not the earthquake. The likelihood of a tsunami hitting that plant is a 1000000000 to 1. We are not even in a region that is earthquake active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nexis4Jersey Posted September 30, 2011 Share #17 Posted September 30, 2011 Its not like shutting down Indian Point will cause that many issues , NYC gets 80% of its Electricity from Niagara Falls and Quebec Hydro-Electric plants. Same with New England and Eastern Canada. Indian Point is too close to growing populated areas so if it fails were all in trouble , I don't think we can really trust the plant owners.

Nexis4Jersey Posted September 30, 2011 Share #19 Posted September 30, 2011 Uhh.... What? Hydro-power is awesome, but Quebecers don't give enough to power New York. You get some of Quebec but most stays upstate and New England. Niagara Falls and Wind power go downstate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted September 30, 2011 Share #20 Posted September 30, 2011 Uh what? New York City gets more then 50% of it's power by burning natural gas. I have seen a pie chart for it. Only 8% of NYC's power is hydroelectric in origin, 7% of it is solar, 10% wind, and 25% of the rest is from Indian Point. Now I am sure there are coal, and many other power plants, but they provide less then 1% of power for NYC. Indian Point is the second largest provider of electric power to NYC. Closing it is stupid, and dumb. The only reason why Chernobyl happened is, because of engineering flaws, and they decided to do an experiment with the reactor, and Fukushima got hit by an earthquake/tsunami. Nuclear power is extremely safe and clean except for the waste that is produced. Also they shouldn't just finish the Shoreham Plant they should continue to build more nuclear power plants. They provide a lot of energy, and if we can come up with some technology for the waste that is produced then Nuclear Power would be extremely feasible even in the future.

Grand Concourse Posted September 30, 2011 Share #22 Posted September 30, 2011 Exactly. As I said, all the alternatives are either can't happen or they don't work. Nuclear is the only reasonable option. France seems to be able to handle their wastes, if the issue is what to do with the spent fuel rods, why not ask them for some help? Japan's situation was not the earthquake, but the tsunami which cut the power supplying the cooling station. THat plus the design of the plant was decades out of date.
