Community Testimonials

Because Oyster Creek operates a safe and reliable plant and is a committed community partner, there are a number of public officials, the business community and labor representatives who support the station's relicensing efforts.

 

"Nuclear power is clean, safe and reliable. NJBIA urges you to support the continued investment, growth and operation of Oyster Creek Generating Station. Keep the lights on and the emissions at zero."

---Sara Bluhm
Director, Energy and Federal Affairs New Jersey Business
 

Oyster Creek alone produces nine percent of all the electricity we use in New Jersey . It has a direct and dramatic positive economic effect on the local, regional and state economy. The loss of Oyster Creek would be devastating to those economies"

---Chip Gerrity, President
NJ IBEW
 

"Several officials from the Borough of Seaside Heights visited Oyster Creek, and they were impressed with the facility. It would be a shame to lose the large amount of clean, efficient energy that is produced by this plant. Many families in our area rely not only on the clean electricity produced at Oyster Creek, but also on the economic benefits that the plant brings to their local communities. I believe that if the NRC finds that Oyster Creek meets all of their guidelines, the plant's license should be renewed."

---Mayor P. Kenneth Hershey, Borough of Seaside Heights

 

"The work force at Oyster Creek is highly trained, exceptionally dedicated and incredibly focused on the safety and reliability issues that make Oyster Creek a quality operator. Oyster Creek provides enough clean energy to supply the power needs of the homes in Ocean, Monmouth and Atlantic counties, an area that encompasses 1.5 million people or approximately 17 percent of our entire state population."

---Ed Stroup, President
IBEW Local 1289, Representing the union workers at Oyster Creek

 

"Oyster Creek is a good corporate neighbor in Lacey Township . The nuclear power plant has a significant positive impact on the local economy and supported our Township emergency services and charitable organizations. The Lacey Township Committee fully supports the renewal of the license and looks forward to continuing the mutually beneficial relationship that has been established between the community and the operators of Oyster Creek Generating Station."
---Mayor Gary Quinn, Lacey Township
