The Truth About Nuclear Energy


More common ground than controversy

While in years past there’s been some disagreement over the use of nuclear energy to meet New York’s growing power demands, the world has changed. Today, more than ever, we’re standing together – on common ground.

We all have a common concern for the environment. To improve air quality, reduce emissions. To produce energy without the greenhouse gases that cause global warming.

We all have a common concern about generating power that’s not just affordable and reliable, but also has the stable, predictable prices that the local communities can count on. And, of course, a common desire to end our dependence on foreign energy.

Upon this common ground, the reputation of Indian Point Energy Center stands strong, as a safe, secure and vital power plant generating over 2000 megawatts of electricity. Enough to power the subways and suburban rail lines, as well as public schools, police departments, firehouses and government facilities throughout New York City, Westchester County and the surrounding region. Indeed, Entergy’s Indian Point Energy Center has become a model for nuclear plants across the nation – receiving numerous operational, engineering and safety awards.
