In the midst of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced a new Clean Energy Standard requiring half of electricity used in New York State to be produced from clean and renewable energy sources by 2030 and a 40% reduction in carbon emissions. But New York already gets 50% of its electricity from low-carbon sources thanks to nuclear energy and hydropower. Unless the Governor closes the Indian Point nuclear power plant 20 years ahead of schedule because of unfounded fears of a nuclear disaster. Then New York will not be able to deliver on its new clean energy plan or its emissions goals.
