Does anyone have anything in print? (Newspaper articles or what ever?) i attempted to google information, but I only saw all the old stuff about it being opened and then shut down. I dont see anything solid either way about its possible future.

I think they should build another Target, Wal-mart, Home Depot, Lowes or how about another CVS or Walgreens on the site. We all know there are not enough of these stores on Long Island.

That plant will never be opened....LIPA will continue to buy electicity from other states at a riduculous price and then mark up a profit and then sell it to us Long Islanders. Great right?
They should not have built the entire plant and THEN been disapproved for operating it because there is no feasible escape route off LI if there is an emergency. I wonder what bribe didn't go through to get the okay on that? They just spent the money recklessly knowing that if it failed the taxpayer would pick up the tab. And we did. I guess there must have been a bribery feeding frenzy among the contractors who worked to build the plant so that's why the plant got built never to be used and wasted all that money ... because it was too tempting to fill all those pockets.
I just wonder why there is currently an operating nuclear power plant right across LI Sound from LI that if it blew up, would certainly affect LI'ers ... nobody took us into account then and our lack of a feasible escape route.
As for LIPA buying power and charging us high rates, that is the way it goes for us, yet places like Freeport and Rockville Centre manage to provide power to their residents (that they bought from other places just like LIPA does) at a fraction of what LIPA rooks the rest of us for. Remember back when everyone was complaining that LILCO was the most expensive electricity in the nation and it was blamed on LILCO being a "for profit" company? So they rooked us into letting them change it to LIPA and swore our power would be more reasonable. I remember they sent out rebate checks ($50, $100, etc.), do you? Well that was the last "bargain" I ever got out of LIPA. Result? It is still one of, if not THE, most expensive electric utilities in the nation, non-profit status be damned. I suppose they are paying rock star salaries to their altruistic non-profit executives.
In short, even if the Shoreham plant was operating, I don't think our electricity would be more reasonable. There are too many scams to pull and excuses to use to fleece us.

You WILL see more nuke plants. How much oil/coal/nat gas do you think is left?

I am not complaining because I don't believe in nuclear power. I am complaining because if it blows up, it will affect us just like Shoreham would have. So why was that one allowed and Shoreham wasn't?
^^ An escape route?? Your chances of being killed by a hurricane as to a nuclear power plant are greater. We are the only country that stopped building nuclear power plants. Wait in 20 years when were buying electricity from China..just like everything else!!!

That is the official reason why Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant was never allowed to actually provide power once it was completed. An escape route. (And, no, I did not have any part in that decision, nor am I supporting it. I am just stating the reason Shoreham never went online.)
