Keep Oyster 
Creek Shut Down 
Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant is presently closed and the lights never even dimmed with the loss of its minuscule contribution to the PJM power grid. What has dimmed a little is the plant's production of life-threatening, high level nuclear waste and the threat to our safety this dinosaur plant creates every day it operates. 
The fact is, Oyster Creek has been supplying less than one percent of electricity to the PJM grid. Moreover, with the increase of states to 14 joining the PJM grid, www. pjm.com, (i.e., Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia) the amount of electricity 
Oyster Creek supplies has 
dwindled proportionately to .0038 percent, considerably less than one percent. 
In August 2003, during the Northeast blackout, Oyster Creek shut down. However, the PJM grid had a surplus of electricity and sold its excess power to New York City, proving that Oyster Creeks input would not be missed. 
Let's invest in New Jersey's future and children with safe, labor-friendly wind and solar energy that increase jobs. Alternative energy is not a terrorist threat that produces massive quantities of nuclear waste to be cared for by multiple generations of our children for thousands of years. 
Keep Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant shut down permanently. Grace Costanzo Vice President , Jersey Shore Nuclear Watch
