I apologize for the inconvenience that will bring in this way, but I wanted to inform you that this blog has been exported to a new address. The choice is due to the fact that the name "The blog of freedom" in my opinion (an opinion that there since day one) is too associated with "People of Freedom" PDL. This could interfere with the goal I set for myself, and could make the site less visible and desirable even a thought provoking wrong with his name.
Using a "PS" to a post on the home page of the blog of Beppe Grillo we learn that: " appeal against Roberto Formigoni (on his election as President of the Lombardy Region) was assigned to Judge Alda Maria Vanoni President of the Chamber of the Court of Milan, the first hearing was scheduled for the July 8, 2010 the Court of Milan "
I guess that's good news, we hope that justice take from its course and not intervene the shameful refusal or shameful corruption. Viva the law!
For those unfamiliar with the story, I refer to this post .
Update on the Use of Nuclear Policies in Europe, some examples
Carry-explanatory and quite an interesting article I found by turning here and there in the forums. This fully supports my idea (and I hope that of many others) to develop a sustainable energy through renewables. It is still a lot of the way to go in this direction are still many obstacles that face because of global lobby. But I'm sure one day we'll make it! Summarizing the article describes (briefly) the energy policies (speaking of nuclear power) of four European countries: France, Sweden, Germany and Austria.
"The Others" ... nuclear power is always greener on the other
One of the comments I hear most frequently ask me while I collect signatures against nuclear power in Italy can be summarized in the questions: "If others have them why should not we? After we are surrounded by nuclear power, because they do not want it too? ". Questions that I find very relevant and worthy of responses without prejudice. For this reason I talk about it now instead of the usual chronicle of a difficult week. Certainly it would be easy to answer: "If we were surrounded by thieves is not that we want them home too!" Or about the fact that the majority is always right, we could borrow one of the bulwarks Linux old-timers (about the numbers have little Linux operating system in the face of MSWindows) that says: "Billions of flies eat shit you ... see that's really good. " The first observation is that "others" are not all alike. There are "other" and "other" and it would be incorrect to put under the same label as France, Germany, Sweden and Austria.
Starting from France, whose nuclear vicissitudes have not always been happy. It 'been traumatic, for example, the experience of Superphenix (recovered less than two billion French francs of the 60 investments, one third of them to taxpayers Italian!). Another negative example is going to be the central EPR Flamanville (Normandy) with many delays and cost increases as all the plants with reactors AREVA "date". French nuclear policy does not just civil, but from the military in the years following the war, thanks to claims that the country had as a winner of the conflict. military investments in France are among the highest in the world, almost twice those of most other countries European (2.5% of GDP = 40 billion € in 2006). France depends on nuclear power for producing electricity. Almost 80% of that comes from 58 nuclear reactors operating on its territory. This development is quite unusual for a country of enormous size (only the U.S. has more reactors in French) is related to the fact that investment in the 60's came to this area "bounce" from the military. One must realize that this is a legitimate choice. If one sets its energy policy in a direction that is good. Their happy, everyone happy. I want to remember, say so in passing, that France has to run the furnaces, internal combustion engines, factories. It does this by using fossil fuels like everyone else, that fuels imported from outside like everyone else. 80% of fuels used in France (including uranium) are purchased from outside, much like Italy. Of course France is a rather special case in world producers of electricity from nuclear power, but ... Nobody knows now where to put and how to keep the nuclear waste produced in quantities monstrous. In 2009 (twelve months) there were 9 accidents to the "nuclear industry" French. The electricity is cheaper than us, but most other countries where nuclear power is not (eg. Hungary and Greece).
There is a second type of countries nuclear weapon, those who develop an energy policy 'Atomic', but alongside other resources, in order to have a varied mix. Take for example the Sweden, which has 10 nuclear power plants rather old and retire shortly. In 1980 (well before the Chernobyl accident but serious aftermath of Three Mile Island) to the Swedish government imposed a referendum to have closure of existing plants by 2010. The pact was held up for good as the current center-right government has decided to return to building nuclear power plants, replacing old ones with new ones. The story does not end here because the debate is ongoing and people is not at all agree (74% according to a recent survey). This year however there will be elections and if the majority were not confirmed it is already obvious that this decision will be thrown away. But this is not the point. The important point is that Sweden produces only 40% of electricity through nuclear power, most of the remainder is produced from renewable sources, with far ahead that hydroelectric . The Swedish electricity bill is lighter than the Italian. This confirms that the number of reactors in the area has a much, much less a good energy policy to reduce the costs borne by the public. It should also be noted that the impact of Swedish taxes on energy cost is greater than our own.
In this vein we have also put the Germany, but has a history a little bit different. 80s born in this country a shared energy policy, which has its foundation in three basic tenets: the reduction of energy waste, development of energy from renewable sources progressive abandonment of nuclear power. In particular, for each of its 26 stations are fixed the dates of closure. At this stage there is a contract with the industrial sector that can tear a few years older than that set by politics. Energy saving is mainly directed to the heating of homes. Laws are born on the amount of oil or gas that can be used per square meter per year in the heated and, with values \u200b\u200bthat are much, much lower than previous (and our current). So he developed a chain of research and industries working to make homes more "passive" , that is, with less and less energy needs. Created classes for the consumption of housing such as home appliances. It 's a great revolution that the selection of materials always requires less energy, more and more green solutions ranging from solar panels to wind turbines, micro-biomass co-generation. A house for maximum savings (gold class) consumes 15 times less than an average Italian home. Today, similar legislation has come here too, 30 years later. It 's the so-called "energy certification" that very few owners want to do, although mandatory, "so no one controls. "The German laws adapt over time (1991) permits the values \u200b\u200bof consumption, as the technology progresses and you can do even better. In 2000 a law voted by 90% of German parliamentarians laying down conditions and criteria for grants and incentives to those who produce energy with the sun, wind, trees. And the country is a great laboratory for sustainability. Here, while we do not know what will happen next Tuesday, Germany has launched an energy plan long-term (decades), a kind of "exit strategy" to replace nuclear with something better, less risky, less expensive and renewable. To date 14 have been closed reactors and disposal will continue until 2022, when the final is due out from nuclear power. It 'also true that the current German government of Angela Merkel has raised some concerns in this regard and that there is a policy debate on the possibility of postponing this "exit", but the German chancellor reiterated that Germany will center many times without any problem the objective 20-20-20 provided by international agreements of the EU. Currently 16% of the German countryside. The share of greenhouse gases is knocked down by 18% ... and still have 10 years to reach 20%! But Italy mobilize the majority of senators to say that CO2 is just a hoax invented by scientists to promote themselves. It urges the EU to remove the constraint. We all look like we were crazy and smile as you do with those who do not know what they do. Currently 25% of German electricity is produced by nuclear power. But what a decision supported by the facts and the sense of the state's product was one that we have under the eyes. A country that has a number of different types of solar vastly greater than Italy, Spain, Greece, namely countries that make the sun emblem in their advertising brochures. A nation that has invested heavily in wind energy especially in the north of the country, in the North Sea where the winds are ideal for this type of energy production. A nation that was able to use the biomass in an intelligent way, through cogenerators home or building and not using them to cheat the public, was also covered by a swindler who invented the CIP6 green certificates.
We close the tour of the horizon with the ' Austria. items on this country run very absurd and without foundation. Acegas APS and its membership of the municipality of Padova, to promote the incinerator S. Lazarus (on the occasion of the ill-fated opening of the third line) had produced a brochure with a front page eulogy of the incinerator in Vienna, "place in the city and which no one complains " . liars and ignorant! Why, if they knew at least a little 'history of this country, never conceded to pronounce the name associated with such filth. In Austria there is only one incinerator (Spittelau 5 km from the center of Vienna) small enough and that now is an attraction tourism than anything else. Built in the 60 was then decorated by a famous architect Austrian who has made a sort of monument. The Austria recycles nearly 70% of their waste and does not need incinerators. Lucky them! And nuclear power? In 1978 was finished the construction of a first nuclear power plant by about 800 MW. Just finished a popular referendum has blocked the start by calling the country to move beyond all nuclear policy. Yet even Austria is surrounded by nuclear countries (Switzerland, Germany, Slovenia). It should be noted that in 1978 no major accidents had not happened; In short it was a choice crystal clear. The Austrian position is very clear. Here is the statement of Ronal Egger one of the leading Austrian environmentalists: "Nuclear power poses a problem not solved, as the final storage. There is a world final disposal of radioactive waste. In addition, accidents continue to occur in plants show that nuclear technology is a technology of high risk. " And this is the position shared by the vast majority still nationals. Austria uses high volume sources sources. What? The biomass first everything. There are entire forests that are treated like a baby because they can produce in a sustainable fuel to heat their homes. There are suitable crops for rapeseed oil that drives the tractors of entire valleys. And then there's the ' hydroelectric particularly developed both as a large power plants and as a smaller jump or flowing water (rivers). Austria is the second largest producer of hydroelectric power from Norway after. If you have not this look a map of Europe and compared the size of this country with that of others. We have said many times that the discussion on biomass be done with great care, respecting biodiversity, subtracting food and non sparking rounds of profits is often as absurd to us. I think the Austrian situation can be summarized in the phrase of Karl Totter - Founder of the Cooperative Seeg that manages renewable sources: "The concept is pretty simple. Each region produces raw materials and these raw materials must be developed in the region and consumed in the region." And the political problems related to various ideas of opposing sides? In Austria, do not even know what they are. Jopseph Galler, Mayor of Mureck, one of the most important in the production of rape, said: "Yes, we say that with regard to bio-energy, all parties follow the same line. This policy is supported by the entire population and this is reflected in the municipal council, where we all agree. " Just like us, or not? Enough? Not a chance. Austria, in 1999 has included the renunciation of nuclear power in its constitution ... we sneak awards Alfano ... from the old nuclear power plant in 1978 has not left the building empty. But recently (2005) was bought by EVN , a company that produces energy in Lower Austria. You will get a quick energy through photovoltaic panels. All around In fact, there are 14 acres to be used. Their bill is lighter than the Italian one (about 60% in 2007), in spite of higher taxation. I love this country! Here! This happens to some of the "other" European countries. When someone say "But we have nuclear power plants on the border" we can not blame him, but if it is not an idiot trying to explain what else is out there that we should take into account. We are very good at copying shit and still we refuse to take that much that is good in the sight of all. The energy policy of a country can not have originated from technology, but the choices of how we want to be the future the nation, its inhabitants, but there are many many millions more than those who will profit and profit from the fact of choosing one path over another. always argue that the problem of nuclear Italian (one of Berlusconi and Scajola to understand) should not become an ideological issue, and that being in favor of nuclear power is not a sin. Except that I think we should consider all the consequences: economic, environmental, safety. In particular it seems to me that spending (very large) does not make sense at this moment in our country. And then, however, the costs are never finished, because our grandchildren will have to pay decommissioning of death due to lack fuel just as we are paying for twenty years dismantling our power plants death, those Caorso, Trino, and so on almost without realizing it. Sogin docet.
Conclusion: As mentioned in the article, for there are many good examples, but they often prefer to copy the sheets. This happens because of "influences" of the lobby (corruption galore). How do I change this trend? Well, the simplest solution is to make better choices in the next election (someone who has the slightest moral character, and a minimum of love for the city that is). There are "new" part that many good candidates, why not to vote rather than the usual suspects?
The MoVimento 5 Stars presents recourse against Errani
And finally in the region Emilia-Romagna Movement 5 Stars moved in favor of legal policy. It 'was finally lodged the appeal against the election as President of the Emilia-Romagna Vasco Errani following his apparent ineligibility after well in Lombardy was presented first appeal against the ineligibility of Roberto Formigoni .
We hope that justice will be done at least this time!
The regional administration is going to approve the definition of "areas of protection of wild fauna " to prohibit hunting, so that protected at least 20% of the territory of the plains, after years of inapplicable law 157/1992 . Of the 50,000 hectares be protected, only 5000 would be Oasis protection. The proposed definition is a choice technique? It 's a politically correct choice? The delimitation is mainly based on the requests of hunters ! Write to ass.agricoltura @ regione.fvg.it and get 50,000 acres of oasis of protection of wildlife !
and SHARE THE VIEW VIDEO campaign supported by WWF, LIPU, LAC, ItaliaNostra, Legambiente FVG link:
Yesterday May 31, 2010 at 4:30 hours of the morning, it happened very regrettable. The state of Israel was attacked in international waters a "fleet" of movment of the Free Gaza ships laden with humanitarian aid (10 tonnes of aid including medicines, foods, clothes, wheelchairs, concrete, etc..) Headed the Gaza Strip, which has long been isolated from the whole world because of Israel. The Palestinian residents in the area live in pitiful conditions, and is prevented from trading, manufacturing and own almost everything, from clothes to toys, have only recently been accepted for the shoes! The list of forbidden things is very similar to Nazi lists that prohibited goods of any kind in the Warsaw ghetto. The oppressed become the oppressors, is amazing as we do not learn anything from their history.
Coming back to the main, the Israelis have carried out this attack because in their fleet that humanitarian aid was dangerous and it was full of terrorists. Of course it was dangerous, would help people "ghetto" by the Israelis, and this can not fit the oppressor.
In this assault from 9 to 19 civilians were killed, many were wounded, more than 600 people were arrested by Israeli authorities, the ships were seized. These people come from around 40 different countries, including 6 which also Italian.
After this course there have been comments from various authorities around the world. NATO, the UN, but also Turkey (an ally of Israel) have condemned this excess of cruelty, they are also born some events (very strong in Turkey) in front of Israeli embassies. The UN is now launching an impartial and accurate in order to understand precisely what happened. Although it is very obvious what happened.
offer 2 video. This first video is a reprise of the Israeli army sull'assalto. All'incursione sailors respond with violence, trying to defend their humanitarian mission.
This video has instead made a telephone interview from the blog of Beppe Grillo Greta Berlin, a representative of the Free Gaza Movement. I think that is widely shared what they are told by the interviewer.
addition I propose this link to Repubblica.it, when there are updates "live" on the case.
