Opinion: Closing Indian Point Puts Phantom Risks Ahead of Real Perils
Protect Orange County Members of Protect Orange County protests the CPV gas plant, which the authors argue was necessitated by the looming shutdown of Indian Point. The current pandemic serves as a cautionary tale warning us that the laws of the natural world supersede the laws and desires of human beings; that we exist ultimately at their mercy. We cannot bend math and physics to our will. Human beings need clean air to breathe, specifically oxygen from earth’s natural ventilator.
The Pandemic Preys Upon Pollution’s Victims and Shows the Power Path Ahead
Governor Cuomo near Indian Point (photo: governor's office) A silent and invisible killer, the novel coronavirus attacks the most fundamental human function that sustains life: our ability to breathe. To breathe properly, human beings need healthy lungs and clean air, specifically oxygen. And if lungs are compromised, there’s an even greater need for clean air.

My view: Cuomo: Prove you respect the rights of all New Yorkers
By Pramilla Malick and James Cromwell An open letter to Gov. Andrew Cuomo:What are the magic words that will enable you to embrace a truth we hold to be self-evident? Our nation was built on core principles; equality its hallmark.When you denied the water permits for the Constitution and Northern Access Pipelines, you proclaimed you wouldn’t risk the water that New Yorkers depend on. When you banned fracking, you proclaimed you wouldn’t risk the health and safety of New Yorkers.
OPINION | New York state's final chance to stop fracking is slipping away
New York banned fracking in 2014, Maryland recently followed suit, and local ordinances to limit it have been passed in 22 states. But a fracking expansion juggernaut is subverting state and local attempts to keep fracking’s negative impacts out.
