So, on 8 and 9 November 1987 about 30 million Italians (I was there!) Went to vote for the so-called referendum on nuclear . In a nutshell, if you do not remember, it was decided that Italy could easily do without nuclear energy. In fact, in implementing the terms established by popular sovereignty, in 1988 the Government italiano stabilisce la moratoria nell'utilizzo del nucleare da fissione quale fonte energetica, che come conseguenza portò ad un programma di stop alla produzione di combustibile nucleare.
Quegli stessi italiani hanno aspettato 25 anni che qualcuno pensasse a come ricavare energia da fonti rinnovabili. E le soluzioni ci sono e, è il caso di dirlo, sono alla luce del sole. Ma qualche anno fa uno dei tanti governi fatti da politici di professione e magnati dell'industria (oltre che da inquisiti, condannati e imboscati mafiosi) decise che, per il bene del paese naturalmente, bisognava tornare al nucleare . Perché il nucleare è pulito, economico, sicuro, porta posti Working in short, the usual stories memorized.
I am not a technician, a specialist in these things, but a simple citizen who is interested to continue to enjoy the benefits of energy (as it would upset me a little 'going back to light my house with candles or to force my wife to return to wash the laundry by the river) but without living with the fear that at any moment a death call invisible radiation is knocking the door. I am not a technician, I said, then I give the word to those who know more than me (and I know that there is among you people so). But I think if you do not want to insist on research and expansion of renewable energies is because There are economic and political interests too big that dominate us. In 2003 the European Commission drew up a
Assessment of impact of non-nuclear energy projects implemented under the Fourth Framework Programme which says inter alia that the main obstacle the use of renewable energy is cost, despite the reductions achieved through public and private research (the cost of wind energy have been halved in the last decade). the lack of political will to ensure costing taking into account the full cost, especially the costs to the environment and health, hinders the development of clean energy sources and, consequently, the effectiveness of research on renewable . (emphasis mine). And we're talking about the European Commission, not some environmentalist association from overwork, maybe the left!
Then yesterday, at some point, we woke up and found that nuclear power plants are not as safe (also here ). E 'enough that the earth who sustains and governs us and produces various fruits with colored flowers and herbs had a normal Settling time (as when the body is purified by issuing a little 'liquid more or less yellow) to understand that things are different. But, you say, Japan is one thousand miles! But, I say, indeed, the Civil Protection that Italy is one of the countries with the highest seismic risk in the Mediterranean . So what difference does the distance from that terrible tragedy?
I certainly am no one, this post and my blog will not want to change neither the world nor the environmental policy of any government (God forbid!). But I felt the need to reflect you on these matters, which are real things, not science fiction or academic discussions, and above all touch our skin and that of our children to come. Also because we can still do something. In a few months so we have the opportunity to have our say on this, going to vote for the referendum on the "realization of the plants in the country of energy production Nuclear Act (133/2008). Informiamoci, let an idea, we talk with the neighbor, the parent of a school friend of our son, my colleague in office, the bartender and the newspaper. Con la gente, insomma, con cui viviamo e con cui condividiamo questo paese e questo pianeta.
Eppure il vento soffia ancora.
