Sadly we know a lot of that money is going to pro-nuclear front groups who are using the coal issue as a poor excuse to renew old nuclear power plant licenses, like Indian Point, and build new ones with Areva, the French nuclear monopoly. They claim shutting down nukes will lead to more coal plants and increase the rate of breathing illnesses in poor neighborhoods. They give the money to local evangelical communities, who then go into neighborhoods to praise nuclear as a solution to coal plants. It’s sad knowing that Bloomberg has been a big promoter of LEDs, But once he realized that LEDs were also being used by the anti-nuclear community as a means of building up replacement power for Indian Point, his enthusiasm waned rapidly. Bloomberg is on the wrong side of the issue, trying to use Indian Point against Cuomo, as a tool in their mutual presidential ambitions, playing nuclear Russian roulette with New York’s future.
