Japan's nuclear Trailer
The nuclear crisis has been and is held in Japan after terrible earthquake and subsequent tsunami is pure science fiction. But the tragedy and the problems that flow from it include such a level that will understand, today there is no rhetoric. In this case are useless. None of the dystopian novels and Japanese films in recent decades came to imagine that the apocalypse would come in this way.
I began my voyage in this blog talking the debate raised by nuclear energy. Unfortunately, this is now the big issue conversation in all media (now I also jump the format of links to posts from our blogs). A story that gives rise to detailed graphics and sites with interactive images and horrifying scenes:
Some of these pages is remarkably documented and is grateful for someone who has been regularly engaged in eskup and to consultation with the state of the reactors at the Fukushima. However, the feeling that remains after such a saturation of information is that it has now been dealt with hysteria. Very few resources, few ; commentators have been targeted if that can happen.
is wikipedia, although we know their reliability. There are also sites of agencies, including the social networks . But in general observe two clear sides with corresponding media propaganda:
1) The supporters nuclear energy, how many employees in the nuclear complex, which have always sought a false tone of moderation belied the events minute by minute. Demonstration of what we already suspected: That advocates of nuclear energy had no idea of \u200b\u200bwhat could happen in a nuclear power plant following an earthquake of this size . Ultimately, defending a capitalist industrial holding with clear economic interests will always try to conceal this information be counterproductive. A lobby can hassling other industrial developments to obtain energy.
(SAD STORY: It is ironic [because it is not ironic] back to find some familiar faces among those commentators.'s Teammates doctorate in nuclear engineering that I left unfinished. The guys who shared a little joke by Professor Dosimetry. The old engineer, nuclear expert, manager in a power plant in Tarragona, which explained how they let 20 years until they realize that rebounded radioactive particles (in the ceiling, floor, walls). And during 20 years nuclear workers received radiation twice yearly which is now recommended for health. The teacher came up with the laughter at the memory. I do not know, think of the cancer. Some students [now prestigious technical] share irony. I still do not find grace. It was then that I understood how things were in the nuclear industry. That day I decided that was not me.)
2) The staunch environmentalist. The other group who has pulled the catastrophic to describe the crisis. But in none of the texts read to clean energy, to date, are unable to supply our energy consumption. Or that solar energy is unsustainable unprofitable (in addition to potentially contaminating when the plates are useless). So a world without fossil fuels without nuclear and require the commitment of belt-tightening in energy consumption . That's something little detail explained environmentalists, who are often the more voracious consumers of energy.
(CLAUSE: Both sides with the gray areas mentioned can be seen in debate around the issue organized by the newspaper El Pais in Caixafòrum Madrid that shows how bad we will go if one side eliminates the other.)
In this situation, the average citizen has it wrong. Not receive the information needed to position themselves. It is true that, as Roland Barthes said, in such public descisiones always act irrationally. I am no exception. But I would like my irrational decision to support a particular form of energy was based on reliable and complete information, despite being subjective.
the end of the day, after so many days, so many readings and viewings of spectacular images:
After observing that the situation is unlikely to be solved quickly, and they strongly agreed with the view my friend Oscar Gual, I have only clear who the villains of all this (about villains that should go to jail for crimes against humanity) and those who heroes.
