Cancel the Indo-US Nuclear deal
Don’t Buy the Big Nuclear Lie
Don’t Pay for a Mistake
Nuclear power – just about the most ridiculous, dangerous, costly and wasteful way to boil water* ever undertaken.
2000 years ago Archimedes used solar power to burn Roman ships. We know that power from that day. So break fossil fuel lobby. Develop and use renewable sources of energy.
Olkiluoto reactor a €3 billion €4.5 billion €5.5 billion euro** mistake, says Greenpeace
For Our Children
Just Say No To Nuclear Renaissance
* There may be a confusion when we say nuclear power plant. “Keep Uranium on clay dish, then connect 2 electrodes, now electricity will flow through the electrodes”. Mainstream media in India is selling this kind of thoughts. Actually its not like that. Atomic reaction will release intense amount of energy in the form of gamma rays, ultraviolet, infrared, x rays etc. In these only infrared, which is heat, is used in power plant to boil water. Boiled water releases steam. That steam is used in turbine to convert its pressure energy to electricity as the same way as coal based thermal power plant. But in nuclear plant things are costly and dangerous.
** When the post was published at that time the cost was 3 billion euros. Now it costs 4.5 billion euros.
[31.08.2009] 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.
Hope India will not fall into the sly Nuclear Deal trap by US vested interests.
