Anti-Indian Point sentiment is gaining momentum at the local level, with Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner the latest to join the opposition. Feiner announced that he will urge Congress to direct the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to issue fines to Indian Point, and other nuclear plants, whenever there is a violation.

Here's why, in Feiner's words:

"The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has not imposed fines every time there has been a violation. Everyone assumed there were fines, but there haven’t been. That means there were no incentives. Every time there is a leak from Entergy, or other related problems, Indian Point gets away with it. There are no fines and there is no punishment."
