In a recent interview, Carlo Rubbia (Nobel Prize for physics) (as Scajola) said "The oil and other fossil fuels are being depleted, but uranium is destined to run out within 35-40 years. We can not therefore continue to develop energy plans based on wrong forecasts which may 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, the sun light every day and heats 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 were actually incurred by the State to maintain the nuclear arsenal. Remember that to build a nuclear power station need 8-10 years of work that the proposed technology is based on a fuel, uranium in fact, of limited duration. Then he left, all over the world, the problem of waste. "
" There is no safe nuclear. O low-waste production. There is a probability, that every one hundred years a nuclear accident is possible, and this obviously increases with the number of power plants. "
" The 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 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, and produces 64 megawatts needed to achieve only 18 months. With 20 such plants, it produces one third of electricity from nuclear power plant 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 produce all the needed energy to the entire planet. And an area of \u200b\u200bthis size is equivalent to just 0.1 per cent of the desert areas of the so-called sun-belt. To supply electricity to one third of ' Italy, an area equivalent to 15 nuclear plants by a gigawatt, a single ring solar big as the union of Rome .
"The new solar concentration to capture the thermodynamic ' energy and 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. " (March 30, 2008) By
