Ignoring for a moment the pathetic back down on nuclear program of the Italian government (not to make a quorum in the referendum of 12 and 13 June and did not bring enough Italians to vote against the "legal impediment"), it is interesting to see how the collapse of the consensus Atomic Energy Agency has infected almost all of Europe.
Maybe a consequence of the fact that, following the nuclear disaster Japanese, has finally begun to understand that the welfare in industrial societies do not necessarily lie in increasing the supply of energy (or general merchandise), but also in reducing of their application? In the three main European countries, nuclear energy is increasingly seen less favorably.
In Germany, Britain and even France is taking a public position clearly opposed to nuclear power. Even in Italy, the fourth of the "big" European countries, despite the relentless pro-nuclear campaign (lasting up to yesterday) and remain in parliament politicians arrogant, incompetent and anachronistic, the public has awakened from a slumber that has made the beautiful country it was probably the most adamant of the West.
A revival, along with the fear of B. Co. and the vote in the referendum referred to above, has led the government to change their minds and opinions from day to day. If up until a month ago, was in fact nuclear "safe" as well as "indispensable", now you can not run too many risks, and the future lies in renewable energy.
Unbelievable. But let's talk a bit 'of countries that can still be taken seriously. Like Germany, already the world leader in renewable energy and energy efficiency. There, the recent vote in the midterm elections was probably buried in the hope of the future for nuclear energy. The defeat of Merkel's CDU and the resounding victory of Grünen, involves a historic turning point.
But what is perhaps the most comforting of these German elections is the quasi-disappearance of political figures such as the now former Prime Minister of the rich and industrialized Baden-Württemberg, Mappus, so sensitive (and smart) to be requested at this historic moment to the federal government to "exit out of the atom", reviving the nuclear power stations rather than abolish them.
In the UK, following the tragedy of Japan, the nuclear future seems increasingly uncertain. According to a recent survey, the consensus of the public for new power plants has fallen by 12% over a few weeks. The nuclear crisis has put Japan in no small difficulties, the British government, which for a long time trying to convince people to willingly accept new nuclear power stations.
A survey conducted by GfK NOP between 18 and 20 March this year (based on telephone interviews done in 1003 adults) showed how the opposition of the subjects of His Majesty nuclear energy has increased 9-28%, compared Data collected by the agency Ipsos Mori for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010.
In France, the nation's most nuclearized the old continent, the atom will be hard to die. It is difficult to expect that we are going to really touch a sector that is estimated to take about 200 000 workers and has a turnover reaching € 28 billion per year. Figures that have led the Authority to exclude the nuclear plant closure.
Nevertheless, after decades of unwavering faith in the atom on the consent of the French nuclear is blatantly staggering. In recent times there have been many people to get off the streets of cities like Paris and Nantes. Some people, like the Socialists, proposed a thirty-year exit strategy from the atom.
And even President Sarkozy said, after the European decision to refer the facilities of the Old Continent in resistance tests: "All the power plants that will not exceed the stress test will be closed." In Italy, despite the blatantly opportunistic attempts by the government to handle a situation increasingly out of control, three out of four Italians say "no" to new power plants.
He was interviewed a sample from Genesis Research have shown a strong hostility to the (suddenly former) government's nuclear ambitions, saying he was ready to vote in a referendum in June 12 for them (re) to stop once and for all. A survey showed that "about three out of four Italians do not want the construction of new nuclear power plants, negatively judge the government's policies towards renewable energy, and say they are ready to go to the upcoming referendum vote to block the plans of 'executive'.
59% of respondents were "very opposed" to the construction of new power plants, and 17% "quite contrary", for a total of more than 75%. But worry about the Italians, rather than events "extraordinary" as the Japanese earthquake, it is business as usual. And how surprising that, in a country where you can not (or do not want to) manage the waste properly even "common"? 71% of respondents to the question "What would vote in the case decided to vote" answer "against the return of nuclear power stations." The only thing that remains to be seen now is whether June 12 referendum that will be done.
If so, it is hoped that the Italians are not really willing to "go to the beach, at least for an hour or two. Because if you try to recover a minimum of consensus government is ready to crush in an instant his most granite beliefs nuclear, even with a referendum now poised questions concerning the privatization of water and such failure shall remain outstanding.
And how!
