A dream in California

The United States of America, you know, are a country very contradictory, in which reality can also opposed each other for better or worse to live with. After a short trip in the most populous U.S. state, California, you can draw very superficially a list of pros and cons that you encounter in a city such as, for example, San Francisco: Island "happy" pacifism, environmentalism and human rights ("minorities" gay in the first place) very unusual in the American context.

Energy, Ireland is always greener

While Germany has just announced the closure of its nuclear program is irreversible, whereas in Japan are expected up to 400 thousand cases of cancer in the next 50 years to the catastrophe of Fukushima, while Italy is expected to see the outcome of the referendum the next 12 and June 13, in Ireland the issue of atomic energy does not arise.

The "Green Ireland" has never had a nuclear program. Indeed, along with Portugal, Austria, Norway, Greece, Denmark and Luxembourg has sided openly against this source of energy, preferring to aim, since time is not suspected, renewable sources. If the first wind farm in the country dates back to 1991, since 2002 the government established the Sustainable Energy Authority, the SEAI, which deals since then to transform Ireland into a society based entirely on environmental sustainability and energy.

After Fukushima, Tokyo chooses renewable

It's been more than two months after the earthquake that devastated on March 11 and Japan kicked off what will become the most serious nuclear accident in history. The media have long since ceased to be interested in Fukushima, but the news coming from Japan are increasingly disturbing. In recent days, for the first time, TEPCO engineers entered the building of reactor number 1 and made a bitter new discovery: not only the fuel inside the core is molten, but somewhere in the container that contains it, the steel vessel, because in spite of the losses must have been so far injected over 100 thousand tons of water, the level is still low and fail to respond to half this amount that is expected to find in the basement, where is not possible down to excessive levels of radioactivity.

A power plant a day keeps the doctor away

With great relief the Corriere della Sera on February 28 under heading home ideas & views of Professor Umberto Veronesi, an operation that converts the aspiration of the Arab peoples to democracy in a warning for the next round of referendum on nuclear power. In short, the professor believes that we should finally give the green light to nuclear power stations to do away with reliance on unreliable partner, which can close the valves of oil and gas when the wind of change blowing through the curtains of the corrupt local dictator.

Never mind the whale

Yes! Never mind the whales, it is their fault if they are, they're too fat, and then if there is to do a trade secret bell'accordo with Japan, which go to hell 'sti environmentalists nag. So he must have thought the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in spite of its politically correct etiquette when he endorsed a wicked plot to resume sustainable hunting (now a few words are the slogan of coverage of the worst atrocities) to whales.
