Nuclear Energy: Good for Oswego

Here's Oswego, New York Mayor John Gosek on what nuclear energy means to his upstate New York city:

Gosek said he believes Oswego County residents will support the effort and any "naysayers" will be in the minority.

"If you go downstate, or other parts of the country, you say the word nuclear and they're nervous or they're frightened," Gosek said. "But here in Oswego County and the city of Oswego, people know the economic impact of those plants far outweighs any safety concerns."

"It's proven - tested and proven - they've been providing safe, clean nuclear power here for 30 years without any incidents," the mayor added.
