The Castor arrived in Gorleben, thus a good time, sometimes a little personal balance sheet . Draw
I have followed closely the whole transport especially in the media, the live ticker.
nuclear power - a complicated matter
I find it a little difficult to position myself clearly on one side, because I understand the arguments of both sides.
We live in an age in which no energy is not much. The savings potential is also limited, because there are also more and more groupings verteuteln energy saving light bulbs and the light bulb ban is long since bypassed by Umdeklaration bulbs to heating elements (see Heat Ball ). (The light bulb ban I am also not particularly useful and also energy saving lamps certainly have its pitfalls, but the results here from now to the very topic.)
Most renewable energy sources like solar and wind have the problem that they are subject to large fluctuations.
is also the constant fluctuations in demand for electricity and the utilities are constantly trying to readjust the power plants to match the demand. Now it works not with all types of power plants equally well. Nuclear power plants for example are very powerful, but very slowly. Gas turbines are operating expensive to fix but quick.
With sun and wind can not compensate for fluctuations, these energy sources to bring even fluctuations in the system. And so a power distribution network is a very sensitive matter. A wrong forecast consumption can lead to overloading of a line, which is emergency deenergizes and thus leads to overloading of other lines. A chain reaction begins and at the end of half the country sits in the dark.
What is lacking an effective way to save electricity is to win a regulatory buffer. Batteries are used to store electricity on a large scale, unfortunately, still too inefficient. Yet it also suffers from the electric car.
would be an opportunity to operate with wind-and solar-energy water into a large reservoir to the pump and of the stored energy as needed, a water power plant. ( pumped storage plant )
may be possible to split the wind and solar energy and water into hydrogen and oxygen and transform internal combustion engines / turbines it back into electricity. Here again from hydrogen and oxygen is water. But I do not know how well this works on a large scale.
The reservoirs but I am pretty sure that there are also large-scale protests.
is another problem that the electricity produced by wind energy effectively, especially in coastal regions or disturb the wind turbines in the North Sea by anyone noise and flickering shadows.
This requires, however, a conversion of the Energy network and probably the building of new high-voltage power lines.
It is therefore unrealistic to shut down the nuclear power plants right away.
The decision to extend the nuclear run-times, I can understand so well, as long as it really is no realistic replacement technology.
What I did not understand the other hand, is the way in which these life extension was pushed through by the back door. This policy has destroyed a lot of confidence and certainly did no favors.
The peaceful demonstrations against the Castor transport I can consequently help to understand and, if you take the train considered only as a symbol. That the Castor transport itself is inevitable, one can not really doubt, because the transport is only a consequence of past experience. That would be as if we were to protect the environment in which it prohibits the garbage disposal, rather than focusing on the prevention of waste.
would actually make more sense, rather than demonstrate against the disposal of the old fuel to the armament of the nuclear power plants with new elements. If the truck is not with the new fuel goes through, it is also true rather those who make direct contact with the nuclear power and therefore may have less interest in research into alternatives. But when
Symbol are the protests against the train for me, as I said ok. In any case, as long as they remain peaceful and under. For the deliberate removal of gravel from the tracks I have no real understanding. can follow when the train derailed this have to the anti-nuclear activists certainly do not want.
I think it would be better if a political way would be found to punish the arbitrary actions of some politicians. Then we could all the money that has flowed into the police action, perhaps even invest in research for real alternatives.
I suspect that some demonstrators even more to the "exceptional experience" as a welcome change from everyday life went on. It remains to be seen if the protests continue now, or all for the "adventure weekend" to go back to the daily business.
Stuttgart 21
exciting it is also how it continues now with Stuttgart 21. I could well imagine that the protests intensify there now, after the protest culture in the Castor transport has indeed works quite well.
need to Stuttgart 21, I say, though, that I have no real opinion on this project. Stuttgart is far away and I have no idea whether the city needs a new station or not. And if so, whether it is an expensive underground needs to be. Since I consider myself to Dieter Nuhr, who says: "If you do not Idea, just keep face! "
I think it is important to the (subjectively) important political issues of its own (!) Have opinions, but also is less sometimes more. Would I have to deal with any station in Germany and he is still so far away, I would come to nothing else. And the thing itself is served with too many opinions not always. Too many cooks spoil the broth is well known and one can totreden everything.
What I find Stuttgart 21 however, very surprising is the procedure. fear in Germany you must not normally in any of the red tape davongaloppiert. Everything will be examined x-fold, then pulls out of Stuttgart and 21 for 1-2 decades. Why come all the protests only now?
The protests may be justifiable, but seems to me all very emotional. And at all (berechtigten!) criticism of the political leadership has to occasionally take caste and voters at themselves and impose certain standards of decision making itself.
This is also a reason why I am against referendums skeptical. I do not paint rather from what would happen would be allowed to vote after a series of "Internet crime scene" about the death penalty for sex offenders.
In "Internet crime scene" is it cold shivers down my spine. But not only because of the pedophile presented there, but mainly because of the style of the show. But that's another topic.
Although I am also of the view so that a lifetime extension of nuclear power plants, the only way to effectively protect children against child molesters. Why? That's obvious! And anyone who is against it, makes child pornography and advance what should be ashamed! Or something like that.
Germany - A "! Contrast," Republic?
I sometimes get the impression that one is in Germany now against everything. Just simply change anything, you never never know what could happen.
If Google launched Street View, I'm going to look to see who has let his house all Pixelize.
