Junk Presidential Candidate Clinton On Indian Point

This must be her Benghazi answer on Nuclear Power. This is why things are the way they are. Didn't she, her husband or the foundation accept huge speaking fees from Entergy. "Huge"! She should have said, if they violate any rules, we should give the NRC humongous power to inflict a terrible price to make them toe the line.

Don't forget, she is a pawn of Russian Putin's uranium trading and centrifuging business! 

Isn't that just terrible, benignly calling for oversight...not talking about the NRC massive reform. Why isn't she criticizing the NRC. She has a green light with the Gallup nuclear power public disapproval rate.

She doesn't know how to wheel power or get involved. It is anybody but Clinton in my house of woman teachers. I like Trump because he is such a system disruptor.

Clinton calls for oversight, but not closure, of Indian Point

ALBANY — Hillary Clinton said she wants more review of the Indian Point nuclear facility but stopped short of calling for its closure. 

That’s in contrast to her presidential primary opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has called for its closure. 

“I’m glad he’s discovered Indian Point,” Clinton said Monday in an interview with "Capital Tonight’s" Liz Benjamin. “When I was a senator, I went after oversight; I went after safety.” 

Earlier Monday, Sanders had called Indian Point a “catastrophe waiting to happen," referring to the recent revelation that the plant had faulty bolts, and called for it to close.

Clinton said she had a history of calling for more oversight of Indian Point, from her time as a U.S. senator. 

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has repeatedly called for the closure of the plant because of its proximity to New York City. He has said there is no way safely to evacuate 20 million people in the greater New York City region who could be affected during a catastrophic accident. 

Clinton said Indian Point cannot easily be replaced, since it provides such a significant amount of power for New York. 

“There’s a current Nuclear Regulatory Commission study being undertaken, but we also have to be realistic and say, you get 25 percent of the electricity in the greater New York City area from Indian Point,” she said. “I don’t want middle-class taxpayers to see a huge rate increase, so this has to be done in a careful, thoughtful way.
