Chernobyl, Fukushima, ... Closing Nuclear Now

Nuclear power is incompatible with a model environmentally sustainable energy. It is not economically efficient and socially just is not. Neither safe nor clean, nor cheap.

In fact, nuclear power has proved an economic failure, technological, environmental and social development, causing serious problems for public health and the environment, nuclear accidents (as bad as Chernobyl and Fukushima), radioactive waste generation impossible to remove and distinctive contribution to the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

English antinuclear movement in solidarity with the Japanese people to the tragedy that is living and requires an urgent timetable for the closure of nuclear plants starting Garoña addition to the withdrawal of the current siting of the ATC, Temporary centralized storage, with opening of a truly democratic process of public participation.

Nuclear power is very dangerous. The Chernobyl tragedy demonstrates its ability to generate disaster. The radioactivity released into the disaster traveled thousands of miles, crossing all boundaries and costing tens of thousands of deaths, and left a trail of concerned whose number, 25 years later, continues to grow.

Fukushima's accident, despite the media pressure "lobby" nuclear, who tried to hide it from the start, is affecting tens of thousands of people. The evacuated territories remain empty for many years. Costs, and higher than those at Chernobyl, can not be borne by the utility operator and fall on the public purse. We are living a tragedy of enormous dimensions, which is not in order and in which each day brings more horrifying statistics.

Nuclear power is very dirty. Nuclear plants generate radioactive waste which remains dangerous tens of thousands of years and whose management, treatment and / or elimination are unresolved issues. The nuclear industry has not been able to find a safe and satisfactory technical solution to the serious problem of waste.

nuclear energy is very expensive. Strong need for continuous government subsidies to exist, do not pay the real cost of liability in case of accident, is an obstacle to renewable energy and increases the cost of electricity bills.

The vast majority of the English population rejects nuclear energy. The technical and economic feasibility of a power generation system based 100% renewable energy is a proven fact and generates 5 times more jobs than nuclear power per unit of energy produced.

IS THE TIME to abandon nuclear energy. It's only a matter of political will as there is no any technical problems, or economic power to prevent it. It is most desirable from the point of view of safety and environmental protection and health.

Without nuclear we have a world healthier, cleaner and safer.

Thousands of people demonstrating and nobody says anything.

If Cuba is 20 Damas de Blanco gather to protest against the Cuban government, sure we'll hear. If we met in Madrid several thousand people to demand basic services remain public, the media and look out onto the balcony. Only in the newspaper Público discuss it, yes, estimated at only 1,000 the number of protesters.

Here you leave the assessment published by the CAS (Coordinating Anti-Privatisation of Health) in Madrid:

25,000 people demonstrate in Madrid against the Privatization of Health and Education

06/05/2011

25,000 people packed Monday, May 5, Alcalá Street between Cibeles and Sun was the largest demonstration of the rich history the mobilization of users and workers, which began to denounce the privatization of health by the PP government, with the approval of the PSOE and the complicity of CCOO and UGT.

In this difficult political position with furious opposition from all these areas, their acolytes and powerful media have joined in addition to the regular convening of past events (the Anti-Privatization Coordination of Health-CAS-Madrid and Madrid Platform Methuselah "Your Health in Danger-) against privatization Platform education "I am Public" and the Platform against the closure of social care facilities for dependents and other 60 other organizations.

As for the media, suffice it to say that "public" has given the news that "more than a thousand people demonstrated ... yesterday in Madrid. " Indeed, over a thousand were .... One of the slogans shouted out yesterday, "then you will say, there are five or six," was all a premonition.

In total, more than 60 organizations called the mass demonstration, confirmed crucial to our times and for those who come: it is possible to maintain a coherent, independent, mobilize a people he endorses it and sends it back corrected and augmented.

The cries were renewed yesterday. Along with the traditional anti-privatization and the complicity of PP and PSOE, others appeared. Some of today renewed as "military spending for schools and hospitals." Others with the freshness of the people "I am Public" that was well prepared posters and slogans. Some were: "Ole, ole, ole, I do not pay school", "Lucia Cigar at the corner of thinking" or "money bourbon, pa health and education."

alpunto Moncho, great, wrote a sonnet to "celebrate this event" and read the manifesto denouncing the privatization process of the entire social protection system, its perpetrators and their accomplices. With the enormous power given to verify that people are willing to keep fighting, from the truck - as a platform - you said "this fight we will win, from the street."

Two batucadas, lots of flags, red, red and black and Republican is mixed in an explosion of people demonstrating what can be done with discourse analysis and clear, uncompromising, strong will unity and hard work militant. But on Yet it is also something much more important, if the demonstration of May 5 was possible and nothing has happened once, only the work of worms daily public services, what can happen when after the elections come May drastic cuts as in Catalonia?

going to keep doing a lot of work militant to reach more and more workplaces, neighborhoods and towns, but today we can say that on May 5 has been a manifestation pregnant future.
