The environmental groups, Clearwater and Time’s Up! team up for an August 9th action including a 3-hr sail on the Hudson on the Clearwater Sloop to Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant, with 50ft banners reading: “No Fukushima on the Hudson” and “Shut Down Indian Point Now!” to call for the permanent closure of the aging power plant. Cyclists from Time’s Up! will start the journey at 7:45am from 156 Rivington Street, Manhattan, with a theatrical “Shut Down Before the Meltdown” bike ride, carrying windmills and signs highlighting the need for safe energy alternatives including wind and solar power.  Click here for the media advisory and more details on the action.
