Steinberger the Nobel Prize: "Nuclear? I prefer the sun "

Tuscany compact in saying no to nuclear. During Terra Futura sul tema sono intervenuti sia il presidente Claudio Martini, sia l’assessore Anna Rita Bramerini. «E’ una scelta che guarda più al passato che al futuro – ha detto Martini - , anche se per il momento siamo solo al livello di annuncio. Se si pensa ad iniziare la costruzione di centrali nucleari tra cinque anni, vuol dire che si useranno vecchie tecnologie. E questo non va bene. Sul resto registro che non c’è alcun dibattito scientifico in corso e che si è di fonte ad un doppio rischio: di marginalizzare il dibattito sul risparmio e sull’efficienza energetica e insieme la questione dello sviluppo dell’energia prodotta da fonti rinnovabili, che invece è assolutamente indispensabile accrescere». 'Research and technological innovation, said Anna Rita Bramerini opening this morning at the Fortezza da Basso, the XIII Regional Conference on the environment - are the two legs upon which the Regional Energy Plan, which deals with energy as those on the spot without nuclear energy and the question arises of how to bridge the gap that separates Italy from the rest of Europe in the production of energy from renewable sources. " "We have companies in the industry - he added, asking us to settle in Tuscany and we like the German model, a country where the renewables industry workers have exceeded the number of those in the automotive sector. We need the private and the public to leverage the 105 million euro by 2013 to make available to them as co-financing of investment. " The event was also attended by the Nobel Prize for Physics 1988 Jack Steinberger (Photo) , which promoted the use of the sun to generate energy, demonstrating data in hand, that this is the true source energy of the future. Steinberger also announced "the end of oil reserves within 25 years, including natural gas and coal by 35 by 60" and discussed "the need for a comprehensive response to these problems." "I'm not against nuclear energy - said Steinberger - but it should solve the problems of waste, accidents and its vulnerability to acts of terrorism, so I prefer to use solar power. In any case, the challenge to produce energy from renewable sources at acceptable costs can be won and the bet for the future is represented by the exploitation of solar energy: just a small portion of the many existing deserts to produce the energy we need. " The Regional Councillor energy, Anna Rita Bramerini, however, added that according to what scientists and engineers who support the development of third generation nuclear power is economically unattractive and has not yet succeeded in solving the problem of waste disposal, and both economically and environmentally sustainable is very little. "Only if the fourth nuclear power generation - added Bramerini - we can solve the problem of radioactive waste, it will be possible to consider the nuclear option. For the moment I see it impractical. However, Italy must win a leading role in research of the fourth nuclear power generation and the only two issues that really worth it to bet, are research and technological innovation in the energy field.
