Crisis at Indian Point with Dr. Courtney Williams

De-commissioning a nuclear power plant isn’t like flipping a switch, especially when it practically sits on top of a giant natural gas pipeline. Indian Point is a disaster waiting to happen, as those responsible for overseeing the project are either asleep at the switch or completely inexperienced. On this edition of Green Street, Patti and Doug speak with Dr. Courtney Williams about what’s going on and what can be done.
