A movement to close the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is gaining ground on the Vineyard. A public forum is set for tonight at 7 p.m. at the Katharine Cornell Theatre in Vineyard Haven. Cape and Islands Sen. Dan Wolf will attend.
At the annual town meeting in Oak Bluffs next Tuesday, April 8, there will be a resolution to vote on requesting a responsible decommission and shutdown of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth.
Because of the extreme danger posed to the Cape and Islands should an accident occur at the aging, failing Pilgrim power plant, concerned people are working to place a full page ad in the Sunday Cape Cod Times asking to close Pilgrim now.
