Kat’s plant plan
New York, like many other states, including New Jersey, needs in-state energy plants now (“Hochul: NY is goin’ nuclear,” June 24).
Gov. Hochul should consult with professionals who know how much time and dollars are needed to build nuclear plants.
The last two nuclear plants recently completed in Georgia were completed in 2024. The time to complete was 15 years. The estimated time when authorized was six to eight years. The estimated cost was $14 billion; the actual cost was $35 billion.
All nuclear plants are long-term plans. If New York wants more power plants, the fastest construction is gas-powered plants. New York authorizing fracking would also keep costs down for all residents of the great state.

Read’s social sway
The second trial to find justice for John O’Keefe was mere showmanship (“Mis ‘Read’ guilt at 1st,” June 22).
It was the culmination of years-long efforts by Karen Read and her defense team to try their case outside a court of law, unchallenged in both social and news media forums.
The courtroom is no longer an impenetrable sanctuary. Social media has infiltrated the halls of justice; sequestration from influential bias is no longer possible in a judge, jury or witness.
Blind allegiance set Karen Read on her course to fame on the back of a dead man from whom justice was robbed.

Judicial disservice
Is it just me or is anyone else concerned about our judicial system (“ ‘Monster’ mom has court fit over label,” June 24)?
Navisia Jones only got 15 years for torturing and killing her 7-year-old daughter, but two years for annoying the judge. It appears to me that in 2025, judges deem themselves more worthy than the likes of you and me.

Don’s F-bomb
Why is the media making such a big deal of President Trump saying the F-word (“Mount ‘cuss’ more,” June 25)?
The word has been in use for many, many years and decades. Many past presidents have used it before, depending on what mood they are in.
Cut Trump some slack. I say it is no big deal. He is sincerely trying his best to end all wars and that calls for the Nobel Peace Prize. Please focus on that.

Bootless Barack
Former President Barack Obama should give back his Nobel Peace Prize because there was no merit to it, and his post-presidency depicts a lack of substance as well (“Enablers-in-Chief,” James Rosen, PostScript, June 22).
Like his friends in Hollywood, Obama is an actor, and his third term under former President Joe Biden illustrated the curtain that should have gone up a long time ago.
He had a good game, but history will record the emptiness of it all.

Say ‘bye’ to DEI
Kudos to Jennifer Sey, founder and CEO of XX-XY Athletics, for battling the nefarious limitations and other stupidity of HR (“Why My Company Ditched the DEI Cops,” June 21).
The latter’s goal is to create massive collections of non-thinking, overly cautious, and overly compliant people who populate corporate America.
Controlled behavior is a step toward totalitarianism. It’s people like Sey who are attempting to save our nation.
