If you have a plant this dangerous, with no evacuation plan, with all these fire safety exemptions, with all these mismatched transformers blowing up, nowhere to put the spent fuel, you have to ask yourself: Even if it’s $20 a year extra (in energy bills), is it worth it? The fact of the matter is, Indian Point is not safe. And our safety and our family means everything.
