Malta says "yes" to divorce

Malta says "yes" to the divorce. The referendum for the legalization is passed by a clear majority of 54% of the vote. The island had been the last European country that has not yet recognized this institution. The Maltese voted in net despite an intensive campaign by the Church, who last night before the polls closed, he issued a note of apology to the voters for a few messages that were deemed "not to insult or clear" by of some members of the clergy.

Crolla consent European nuclear

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.

Japan: we are telling the whole truth?

In addition to the risks, in addition to waste, in addition to costs, as well as time-consuming, in addition to the lobby, the biggest problem of nuclear technology is that you can never have transparent information. In part to the fact that the data are always hidden from the military secret and partly because even when you can provide information, the agencies do not ever provide.

The disaster is proving to the Japanese. The Nipponese government and politicians are hiding the truth for fear of alarming. But that does not inform people of what is really going on. The world's nuclear monitoring organization and the French government say they are extremely concerned about the situation and the limited data that the Japanese are talking publicly.
