Power Plants
Entergy Nuclear provides power to millions of homes, thousands of businesses,
and hundreds of critical transportation, health, and municipal systems. This
power cannot be easily or cost-effectively replaced by other sources of power.
For example, calculations show that replacing the 2,000 megawatts generated by
Indian Point would amount to more than $1 billion a year in electricity costs
and could lead to electricity shortages, price spikes of as much as 40
percent, and rolling blackouts.
And because nuclear energy is a price-stable energy source, its price does not
fluctuate like the prices of natural gas or other fossil fuels.
