Why Fukushima made me stop worrying and love nuclear power
Greetings, Please have a look at the article with that title: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/mar/21/pro-nuclear-japan-fukush... I'm not entirely convinced about it myself. However, I think that it is very good food for thought, and above all would like to hear the opinion of those list members who have had many more occasions than me to study the most recent pros and cons of "local energy" about how Monbiot deals with it in that piece.

In the region that I am located in, http://www.truenorthpower.com/ and some more than a few other companies have done extensive wind/solar evaluations for most of Canada and the Northern US, and have deployed local wind/solar combinations for residential, commercial refrigeration, manufacturing, and more. The messages coming from the naysayers in Great Britain just simply is not stacking up against the reality. I plan to start documenting local wind power just in the city that I live in alone in the next few months, possibly to be published on lansingonlinenews.com This is not even discussing biodigesting, net metering, and other possibilities. -- -- Sam Rose Future Forward Institute and Forward Foundation Tel:+1(517) 639-1552 Cel: +1-(517)-974-6451 skype: samuelrose email: [email protected] http://futureforwardinstitute.com http://forwardfound.org http://hollymeadcapital.com http://p2pfoundation.net http://socialmediaclassroom.com "The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition." - Carl Sagan

Here is another Guardian article with a different perspective: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/mar/15/nuclear-earthquake- tsunami-energy-industry Large coal and nuclear power plants place a heavy burden on water resources and the creatures that live there. Here's one anarchist's view: http://attempter.wordpress.com/2011/03/18/corporations-are-extensions-of- government/#comment-5386 -Karl

Folks, I am sorry, but the guy who wrote this article does not understand the risks involved with what is happening in Japan. Unfortunately few people do. The information is not open, and this is a major problem. The IAEA knows that it is lacking transparency. Next week I will invite the scientific community that has the tools to identify even trace elements of this radiation incident to build an open database to be populated with environmental information. Then anyone with a web browser will be able to navigate though a map and find how radioactive (and non-radioactive) materials are spreading through the planet. My suggestion can be found at http://www.iba2011.org/site/tiki-index.php?page=Round+Tables I hope that maybe some people from this list may have some experience with or know open scientific portals that works on this kind open collaboration idea. If anyone does, please let me know. Thanks, Rafael Em 26-03-2011 04:08, M. Fioretti escreveu:
