My last name in Chinese is apparently 米洛伊, per this news article in a Chinese new outlet for North American readers.
The article translation is:
Several energy groups have launched an advertising campaign coinciding with “Climate Week,” urging Governor Kathy Hochul to restart the decommissioned Indian Point nuclear power plant in Westchester County.
The *New York Post* reports that Indian Point, located just 40 miles from Midtown Manhattan, was shut down in 2021 during the administration of former Governor Andrew Cuomo due to concerns among anti-nuclear activists and politicians regarding potential radiation leaks.
As residents face soaring electricity costs, Hochul is advocating for the construction of new nuclear reactors to boost power generation but has not considered restarting the Indian Point facility.
Steve Milloy, a senior fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute, criticized Hochul for lacking sincerity in her efforts to lower electricity bills, arguing that if she were truly committed, she would pressure the Trump administration to fast-track the restart of Indian Point, which possesses sound infrastructure.
Before its closure, Indian Point supplied approximately 2 gigawatts of electricity, accounting for 25% of New York City’s power supply. Hochul has acknowledged that shutting down the plant was a mistake—leading to increased demand for high-polluting fossil fuel generation—and admitted that no backup plan had been established at the time.
Representative Mike Lawler (R-Hudson Valley) has made restarting the plant a key part of his campaign platform; he recently visited the site with federal Energy Secretary Chris Wright to emphasize that data center developers require stable power and that restarting the facility is a matter of urgency. Other groups sponsoring the mobile billboard campaign include the Institute for Energy Research and the Tropical Island Institute.
