Some "well informed" claim that all nuclear power plants on the planet producing a quantity of energy equal to 5-7% of all global demand. Not being an expert in the field have not been able to substantiate such information but if it's true we are facing a true planetary cheating, since we want you to believe that the atom is the future of the world and there are no other alternatives. A global scam designed exclusively to produce revenue for manufacturers producing atomic reactors, companies that build power plants and flowers of benefits to those politicians who support such policies, in exchange for funding for their campaigns and maybe even some "gift". Let's say the total amount of electricity produced by all plants of the world was also (esageriamo!) of 20%, well let's do the math, even ignorant, No. 1 factor, construction. I imagine that building a nuclear power plant is by no means a walk, needed a lot of money, thousands of workers, un'indotto, professional skills, technical and scientific solutions that are unrivaled in the construction of other facilities, costs that would fall on our bills for at least the next fifty years, must also comply with safety standards and reliability huge call costs very high. Factor No. 2, procurement of raw materials. Metals useful for producing nuclear energy is uranium and plutonium, these two elements are very rare in nature, the few fields that are scattered in remote areas of the planet are far from providing a reserve in the long term, their extraction requires a 'very damaging impact on the environment and the significant costs for various treatments and transportation. Factor # 3, the price for the purchase. I repeat, are totally ignorant in this field but I guess that buy ten bars of uranium is not a "walk", we are talking about a very very valuable raw material, does not care who sells some type of bidding 3 x 2. Factor No. 4, the plant management. Manage a nuclear power plant is not the same thing that runs a natural gas or coal workers are highly trained and prepared and then ... well-paid, it also serves an apparatus for monitoring its safety in people competent authority in the health of hundreds of thousands of citizens. Factor No. 5, maintenance. The service provides a series of expensive and the use of qualified personnel whose task, as well as being to ensure the proper functioning of the system is also to prevent accidents, such as radioactive leaks and, at worst, an explosion. In these cases the damage that would occur to the environment and mankind would be far more than the benefits had so far for energy production. Factor No. 6, the radioactive waste. Where to put them? Granted that is a huge and expensive problem for all countries, let us reflect, for example, Italy. A country like ours, where the garbage is a source of income for the Mafia and the Camorra, which all produce large quantities of waste but no one wants to have a house near landfills and incinerators, where behind the laying of each brick of an incinerator is hide corrupt politicians, organized crime and calls for tender fixing, how can we expect to be able to handle the radioactive waste problem? Remember that once abandoned their danger remains for thousands of years and must be processed under the provisions of the IAEA, the world's nuclear agency, not under the provisions of the Casalesi clan! At what cost? Again, I'm ignorant on the subject. That said, if by that hypothetical 20% of energy produced (remember that the experts talk about a 5-7%) subtract all the resources used to manage nuclear power as a whole, what remains at the level of benefits? At this point I thought: Would not it be much more useful to rethink our lifestyle? If you begin to live a simpler, less consumerist, more respectful to the environment, fewer lights, less cars, less waste, more recycling, more sparingly in buying objects useless, bought just because enticed by the sales policies of the market and end up only giving us the illusion of being more happy, when in reality we are all more sad. Perhaps there would be no need for this eager to deface the planet to produce more energy as in a vicious circle, maybe if the government allocates more resources in research and development of alternative energies maybe our children, our grandchildren will be proud of their ancestors . I do not think little. Again, ignorant, if they all got to see the world not as something owned by us but a place to rent received by future generations? O repeat .... ignorant. You will!
