New York Proposes First Nuclear Plant in Decades June 23, 2025
Newslooks
Alfred Meyer, treasurer of Physicians for Social Responsibility’s New York chapter, denounced the plan as wasteful and dangerous.
“Nuclear power is not clean or green energy,” Meyer said. “It is damaging to public health and the environment.” He argued that nuclear plants are slow to build, exceedingly expensive, and produce hazardous waste that remains toxic for thousands of years.
Meyer and others assert that investments would be better spent accelerating development of wind, solar, and battery storage technologies—renewables that are cheaper, faster to deploy, and truly emissions-free.
