• NYPIRG opposed the construction of Indian Point.
• Shortly after 9-11-01, NYPIRG joined with other environmental, community, activist and faith-based organizations in the region to start the Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition (IPSEC).
• This coalition has been the leader in the efforts to close down the plant, education the public, decision-makers and municipalities of the dangers of Indian Point and the need for its closure.
• The 40 year licenses to operate Indian Point #2 and #3 expire in 2013 and 2015 respectively. However, Entergy (the plant's owner) will probably apply for an extension in the next year.
• NYPIRG, and many other organizations, will be educating decision makers on the dangers of re-licensing Indian Point.
• Even the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which issues the licenses, admits that it is highly unlikely that Indian Point would be sited so close to New York City today. Then why should it be re-licensed to operate?
