New Finish nuclear power plant Olkiluoto with enormous financial losses

Nuclear giant Areva threatens halt of Olkiluoto construction

The dispute around enormous financial losses from the Finish Olkiluoto nuclear reactor project deepened yesterday, when the French nuclear giant Areva published its half-year results. Areva threatened to freeze construction if TVO does not submit to the company’s demands of shouldering a share of the cost. The latest estimate of construction costs reached €5.5 billion, which compares to the price of 2.5 billion originally presented to Finnish public and politicians.

Stopping global warming is risk management

juerg — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:26:03 +0200

The issue with stopping or reducing global warming is about risk and managing risk: Science still does not know the exact mechanism by which smoking and its associated chemicals causes cancer. What we do know is that smoking is the biggest risk factor in developing lung cancer. The more you smoke, the more your risk of getting lung cancer. Not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer, and not everyone who gets lung cancer has smoked.

Hmm How about the sun

Carbon emission for vehicules left running during stops (idling)

Fri, 22 May 2009 17:08:02 +0200

I am wondering if you have any studies comparing vehicles left running for 5-10 minutes, versus shut down (while someone runs in to the post office to get their mail) and then started back up again.

Does it take more energy to restart the vehicle?
How much on average does a vehicle left unattended and running put out in CO2?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

How is that possible that in the year 2009 A.D. we still making wars between us and still using oil made from dinosaurs millions of years ago?
I think is time for a change, don`t you think?

Building Infrastructure in Senegal

Water scarcity, illness, and poverty all go hand in hand. But, people do not realize that infrastructure-deficiency is the real problem in areas around the world (particularly Africa).

WASTEAGE OF ELECTRICITY IS THE CAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING

Hi i want to know that is the electicity is one of the cause of global warming.

There's more to Global Warming than CO2

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 23:10:40 +0100

We can't just focus on greenhouse gases in the atmosphere: Global warming is a concern for the
lithosphere, aquasphere and atmosphere. Our world is complex with many spheres combined, we need to be concerned for all the earth and not just global warming affecting one aspect but all aspects.

What is thermosolar power or concentrating solar power (CSP)?

juerg — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 10:55:36 +0100

What is thermosolar power, or "desert energy"? Thermosolar energy means generating electricity from the heat of the sun, and not, as photovoltaic panels do, from sunlight. Since a large quantity of solar heat is required, evidently this must be done in the desert. A short introduction in this promising technology to produce electricity from a renewable source:

Citing informating

MANKINDS ARROGANCE.

Fri, 26 Dec 2008 21:01:06 +0100

HOW ARROGANT ARE WE THAT WE THINK WE CAN AFFECT THIS PLANET IN THE WAYS SOME PEOPLE WHO BLAME US FOR GLOBAL WARMING.
THIS PLANET HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH WARMING AND COOLING CYCLES FOR BILLIONS OF YEARS, WE ARE BUT A FOOT NOTE IN THE LIFE CYCLE OF THIS PLANET.
THE AMOUNT OF CO2 WE HAVE PUT INTO THE EQUATION IS VERY MINUTE COMPARED TO WHAT A SINGLE VOLCANO IS CAPABLE OF AND THINK ABOUT THE FOREST FIRES THAT BURNED UNCHECKED OVER THE EONS.
COME ON PEOPLE, LETS FIND SOMETHING WE HAVE A CHANCE OF CHANGING TO FOCUS OUR ENERGY ON.

Do you really believe that global warming is occuring as we speak? Do you think we need to be worrying?

Is there something more that can be done?

Sat, 29 Nov 2008 06:17:23 +0100

Would it have been enough to just stop littering, without cleaning up the mes that had been building for decades of early industrial society? It won't be enough with the effects of warming either!

time for a change- education is the answer

"have come to realize that most individuals in my community and school do not take Global Warming seriously. Solution: the main strategy to deal with this issue is educating the public on the causes, effects and possible solutions for Global warming"

Why Global Warming Is Real

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 02:48:14 +0100

People who want to be sure that global warming is real or convince some friends, look here. This was a thing for a debate that never got done so I thought I'd share it. (it IS a bit full on though...)
"Defintion: Global warming is that the earth’s temperature is rising as a result from human actions. We have changed the natural cycle by our actions, and have helped to raise the temperature by many ways, including greenhouse gases such as CO2......."

Nuclear Proliferation in a nutshell

juerg — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:20:58 +0100

Nuclear proliferation is used to describe the spread of fissile material, weapons-applicable nuclear technology and information, to nations which are not (yet) in posession of nuclear weapons. It is feared that the likelyhood of a nuclear warfare does increase with the number of nations with nuclear weapons.

Nuclear proliferation is related to the civil application of nuclear power in the following ways:

save the earth

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 04:01:54 +0100

I think we should all stand up to global warming and save our planet even "small changes add up" like you can ride your bike instead of taking your car or walking to the store that is nearby instead of using your car. Some people say why should we do anything? We are all going to die anyway but why not do something so all of our generations can have a good life, Why not do something to save our human kind, the animals, the plants and especially our earth.

Nuclear Power phase-out is pro-gressing

juerg — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:40:50 +0100

Nuclear energy is a relatively small industry, but one with big problems. It covers just one-sixteenth of the world’s primary energy consumption, a share set to decline over the coming decades.

The average age of operating commercial nuclear reactors is 23 years. This means that more power stations are being shut down than built. In 2007, world nuclear production fell by 1.8 % and the number of operating reactors was 439, five less than the historical peak of 2002.

Is nuclear power a global warming solution?

juerg — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 16:45:05 +0200

The main topic of this newsletter is the following question: Is nuclear power a global warming solution?

In addition, we summarize and link a number of texts about the potential and about the future of civil nuclear power applications.
