The Atlantic Commonwealth

Office of the Department of

Enviroment

TO:              Governor Mika, Assembly of the Atlantic Commonwealth

FROM:      advancedgaming12, Secretary of The Enviroment

DATE:        09/02/2019

SUBJECT: Conversion of Non Renewable power sources 

Section 1. Short Title

This Directive shall be known as the “Power Source Conversion Directive”.

Section 2. Directives

The Department gives 40 million to the New York Power Authority

The New York Power Authority is to begin converting its two gas fired plants in Holtsville, Long Island, and Astoria, Queens to Nuclear Power Plants

Section 3. Reasoning

Carbon Emissions

     Internationally, many scientists have come to the conclusion we have 11 years to reduce our carbon emissions to net zero before we face irreversible damage. A natural first step in reaching that goal is to move to low carbon emissions and then hopefully transition to no carbon emissions. The selection of nuclear power as opposed to wind or solar was because nuclear has an incredibly low carbon output, the second lowest right behind wind, solar, etc. While remaining much higher efficiency

     This makes nuclear a practical option, and means a reasonable and logical first step is moving from high carbon output gas fired plants to low carbon output nuclear powered ones. 

Section 4. Severability

If any provision of this directive shall be found unconstitutional, unenforceable, or otherwise stricken, the remainder of the directive shall remain in full force in effect, unless such striking or removal of a provision or passage renders the entirety of the directive’s purpose unattainable, in which case the entirety of the directive shall be rendered null and void.

Section 5. Enactment

This order shall take effect immediately upon publication.

Signed,
