Can Weed Help Cataracts

Rubbia's words ...

from the blog of Daniel Luttazzi


In a recent interview, Carlo Rubbia (Nobel Prize for physics) (as Scajola) said

"The oil and other fossil fuels are being exhaustion, but uranium is destined to run out within 35-40 years. We can not therefore continue to develop energy plans on the basis of incorrect predictions that might lead us astray. We need to develop the most important energy source that nature always puts at our disposal, without limitation, at no cost: namely that every day the sun illuminates and warms the earth. "

"When was the last reactor built in America? In 1979, thirty years ago! How important is the nuclear energy production in French? About 20 per cent. But the high cost of their 59 reactors have been incurred in fact State to maintain the nuclear arsenal. Let us remember that to build a nuclear plant requires 8-10 years of work that the proposed technology is based on a fuel, uranium in fact, of limited duration. And still, all over the world, the problem of waste .

"There is no nuclear safe. Or low-waste production. There is a probability, that every hundred years a nuclear accident is possible, and this obviously increases with the number of power plants. "

" Coal is the dirtiest source of energy, most dangerous to the health of humanity. But it does not solve the problem by hiding carbon dioxide underground. In reality no one is saying how long it should remain, yet the CO2 lasts up to 30,000 years, compared with 22 000 of plutonium. No, the return to coal would be dramatic, disastrous. "

"There is a plant for the production of solar energy, built in the Nevada desert on English project. Costs 200 million dollars, produces 64 megawatts and it takes only 18 to achieve months. With 20 such plants, it produces a third of a nuclear plant to a gigawatt. And the costs, which is still high, can be reduced considerably when they are manufactured in large quantities. Suffice it to say that a hypothetical square mirrors along 200 km on each side, could provide all the necessary energy to the entire planet. And area of \u200b\u200bthis size is equivalent to just 0.1 per cent of the desert areas of the so-called sun-belt. It supplied electricity third of Italy, an area equivalent to 15 nuclear plants by a gigawatt, a single ring as big as the solar connection Rome. "

"The new solar thermodynamic plants capture the energy and concentration to keep them in special containers until needed. Then, through a heat exchanger, to produce the steam that drives turbines. Neither more nor less than a dam, hydroelectric plants, water stops and releases it at the appropriate time to supply power. "

If it is so simple, why did not you?

" The sun is not subject to monopolies. It does not pay the bill. I believe this is a great opportunity for our country if we do we will do so very soon the Americans, as happened for the rest of the computer twenty years ago "
