This speech was focused on electricity production and conservation so transportation would be off topic here. I expect good things from him and Bloomberg coming up on Transportation, including congestion pricing and increased support for mass transit.
And yes, he made a campaign promise on closing Indian Point if they can fill the gap in energy production from renewables and/or conservation so that was expected. I was more surprised that he did not mention Liquified Natural Gas once.
The caveat gives Spitzer a way to say that nuclear power is essential. It is vanishingly unlikely for conservation or imports to stay ahead of declining domestic gas supplies, so he's at least got a necessity defense prepared ahead of time (good lawyer).
