Citizens Supporting Nuclear Power

To:  Governor George Pataki and all elected officials in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

We, the undersigned, respectfully request that you reject any measures to shut down, close, or otherwise disrupt electric generation at Indian Point for the following reasons:

Whereas Indian Point has provided safe, clean, reliable and economical electricity to New York and the surrounding area for over 30 years.

Whereas Indian Point produces 19 percent of the electricity required to meet the demand of the City of New York and that of its major suburbs.

Whereas the record of injury or fatality both to nuclear plant workers and to the general public due to operating nuclear power plants registers near the bottom of overall industry standards.

Whereas nuclear power does not produce any emissions that contribute to global warming and air, water, or any other short or long term pollution to the environment.

Whereas the critics of Indian Point are using the tragic events of September 11th to terrorize the public and to advance their own agenda by trying to convince the public of the myth that a nuclear power plant can explode like an atomic bomb.

Whereas Indian Point employs over 1600 permanent and contract employees and creates commerce, revenue, and employment for countless other individuals both in the tri-state area and throughout the county.

Whereas the critics of nuclear power are a small disproportionate percentage of the overall population as attested to by the following signatures.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
