Katko, Hanna Issue Joint Statement on FitzPatrick Nuclear Plant

Statement

Date: Nov. 1, 2015
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Energy

U.S. Reps. John Katko (NY-24) and Richard Hanna (NY-22) today released the below statement following the most recent news on FitzPatrick Nuclear Energy Plant:

"We were incredibly disappointed to learn that Entergy announced its intent to close the FitzPatrick Nuclear Plant. As our community moves forward, we will do everything that we can to support FitzPatrick employees, their families, local leaders and all of Oswego County. There is no question that the plant's closure would be a huge loss to our region.

"Over the course of the past month, Entergy has been in talks with State of New York about the future of FitzPatrick. We hope the company will detail these conversations and inform the community as to what efforts were made to prevent the closure of the plant.

"We also urge the company and the State to continue their dialogue in the hopes of reversing the decision. Absent a solution, our hope is that the company and the State will do everything possible to mitigate the challenges faced by the community."
