L’11 marzo del 2011 lo ricordiamo tutti. Il terremoto, lo tsunami, l’incidente nella centrale nucleare di Fukushima. Pochi conoscono, invece, le bugie, le omissioni, i mancati rimborsi, i ritardi nella gestione delle operazioni di bonifica.

Te la ricordi, Fukushima?

Le conseguenze sociali e ambientali dell'incidente nucleare - senza parlare delle ripercussioni economiche - sono evidenti oggi, come il giorno dopo l’incidente

Dal 1950 ad oggi, abbiamo prodotto circa 9 miliardi di tonnellate di plastica.

Il problema, purtroppo, non si limita alle già pericolose emissioni di un inceneritore o ai danni alla biodiversità.

C’è un’emergenza in corso, ma è quasi invisibile: la microplastica.

Un menù fisso a base di microplastica

La mangiamo, la beviamo e la respiriamo ogni giorno. Quanto è pericolosa la microplastica? Cosa la genera e come puoi contribuire a ridurre il problema?

Secondo la Meloni, automobili a biodiesel, carburanti sintetici e idrogeno dovranno convivere con i modelli full-electric a batteria.
Conviene veramente diversificare le tecnologie, anche quando una vince nettamente sulle altre per efficienza, tempi di implementazione e costi?

In Europa, nel 2024, sono stati registrati oltre 6.7 milioni di voli intra-EU: un aumento del 5.1% rispetto all’anno precedente.

Quali ostacoli pone un’Unione Europea delle ferrovie? Perché viaggiare in treno costa spesso molto di più che volare?

Un futuro di ferro

Il treno può sostituire il viaggio aereo su molte tratte di breve e media percorrenza, ma occorrono politiche fiscali e coordinamento tra operatori

Given the false data, no sources, typical nuke propaganda, I can only quit this senseless discussion. You're here to post all your archive, not to discuss a point.
Have fun, man. Got better things to do.
We'll see where it goes. I bet on RE, and so far we are a huge majority. It's just common sense.

It's a drop in the ocean compared to what it has been given to nuclear and fossils. Again, it contributed to the fall of the cost of technology, whereas with nuclear it keep rising.
Man, you are cherry picking, digressing, moving me away from my original post. And yet, never answered it.

As years go by, cost estimates are rising and - of course - it's not at all coming from past revenue, nor from the utility companies. Who's gonna pay?
Here in the UK, the first Magnox will be dismissed (maybe) by 2081. Give me a call, we'll celebrate.

it can be unreliable, and when you stop a big plant, the damage is huge. Solar and wind are scattered on the territory and much more resilient.
As of today, no deposit with a waste management long term strategy has been tested enough without resulting in a failure.

Again, let's not open pandora's box, I could stay months listing you the reasons why many think there's no future for nuclear, if not risible quotas on the world scenario.
CF has no meaning if you don't consider the primary energy vs final use performance. Thermoelectric energy is inefficient

Ascanio Vitale 🌍 @ascanio.bsky.social · Aug 13

Nope, the trend is consistent with the RE quota. Portugal is the same.
You're funny. When I told you that the French government nationalised Areva and controls EdF prices to consumers to keep them stable and low, you denied it was a subsidy.

I wouldn't trust going over 70% with Europe's old plants: e.g. some vessels have documented microfractures which may require long interruptions to be monitored and maintained.

In a high RE scenario (not 100%), the remainder would be very low. Unbearable with nuclear.

Ascanio Vitale 🌍 @ascanio.bsky.social · Aug 13

You have no idea of what you're talking about. You keep saying my statements are false but so far haven't been able to demostrate it.
Here's a demonstration of your propaganda and lack of knowledge. CF of 70-90%? This are the IEA estimates for 2050 and EPR performances. /

That’s old news. Many projects are being approved and built. CFDs are paving the way to cheaper bills. Spain and Germany have more renewables than Italy and UK and their bills are lower. Money well invested. Nuclear needs long term solutions before being part of any discussion. 70+ years, none yet.

Present ones are closing soon, many should have already. Nuclear technology is only rising in cost.
The huge failure of the EPR is only shaded by the report of the Cour des Comptes on the even higher costs for EPR II.
Moreover, France has still to find money and location for the waste deposit.

Digressing won't help you.

So you are admitting finally the unreliability under climate change impacts. It took you a while.

Ascanio Vitale 🌍 @ascanio.bsky.social · Aug 13

Subsidies to renewables are necessary to reduce cost of technology. It fell 90% in the last 10 years only.
Nuclear is rising regardless of size or technology. A failure.

No man. Here you are considering only 60 years old plants.

There’s no need for bulk production in a highly renewable mix.
