Oil is leaking into the Hudson River from a transformer fire at Indian Point on Saturday evening. It is the third transformer fire in the past eight years. 

“This is a problem to be taken with the utmost seriousness,” said Riverkeeper President Paul Gallay. “Indian Point has a long, disturbing history of operational and environmental problems. The plant’s aging infrastructure has caught up to it and we must see that it is closed or these problems will only worsen with potentially catastrophic results.”
