It was supposed to usher in a golden age for nuclear power in New York, and initially had little opposition. But eventually a network of environmental groups as well as everyday citizens who were wary of nuclear power in the wake of Three Mile Island, and then Chernobyl, turned against it. The public questioned the wisdom of building a nuclear power plant so close to New York City. Activists led protests, serenaded by folk singer Pete Seeger, a resident of Beacon. The evacuation plan the plant created was deemed to be unrealistic, and state officials refused to certify it. Finally, after many tumultuous years, Gov. Cuomo announced the decommissioning of the plant.

Eric Adams returned again to his native Queens today, locking up two more endorsements in a borough that could make or break his mayoral campaign.
State Sen. Joseph Addabbo Jr. and Assemblymember Stacey Pheffer Amato backed Adams today during an event in Rockaway Beach another notch on a Queens endorsement belt that already includes a slew of elected officials, particularly in voter-rich Southeast Queens where Adams recently opened a new campaign headquarters.
