Schlagwort-Archive: nuclear waste

Things I simply do not understand

Well here in Germany there are currently 2 big themes.
a) the longer running nuclear power plants
b) the building of Stuttgart 21 (a new railway station in Stuttgart with new high-speed connections etc pp)

This things seem to be unrelated (and maybe they are) but there are connections between them.

At first both seem to ignore technical sound decisions. Either the plants are safe than, they there is not technical reason to shut them down. Or they are not
safe than the must be shut down. Now Stuttgart should get an underground railway station. Well I can not decide if this is sound or not. However currently they have let’s say aroun 21 rails.
And the railsway station is a dead end. So the trains have to run in and run out in the same direction. Such railway stations have a long history. E.g all the railway stations in Paris are of the that kind.
And they do not bother to change that. We have other stations here in Germany which are of the same kind too, it’s not discussed to change that. So make up your own mind about it..

Now let’s see the economical facts.
1) without regards to the nuclear wastes, nuclear power plants are extremly powerful and I bet not many other things can produce currency that cheap. But what if you take into account all the troubles with the nuclear waste. I see there money sums one hardly can “ignore” Just imagine if Josef has saved 1 EUR 2000 years ago. And (not taken taxes into consideration) and just a interest rate of 2 %.
Jesus now has a fortune of 1 * 1.02 ** 2000 = 1.586147e+17 = 158 614 700 000 000 000 EUR to his disposal. As we know he lives forever….

2) Stuttgart 21 was initially calculated with 1994 around 2.5 billion EUR currently they are talking about roughly 6.4 Billion Euro based on prices of 2008 (see e.g. http://www.kopfbahnhof-21.de/index.php?id=317) that’s nearly a trippled price. The currently political “covered” price is 4.1 Billion. Again I ask yo to make your own mind about it.

So for me the economical facts are clear. Nuclear power plants are unpayable if we take the problematic of the nuclear wast into our considerations. Anyway without that they are “cheap” and well now the politicians want to tax them not just one time but a few times. So in fact they do not care the least about the costs of it in 20 or so years. They grab all the money now and deferr the costs to the next generations. In fact politics are unsustainable. And the arguments are again another hit on your head with a hammer. It’s because of the “global warming”. Global warming is another argument they use to extend their power base. The facts are not that clear and that it’s mean-grown is at least arguable. Even if the Alarmists have done everything to make it look like the “end-of-the-world”. I propose one checks the mid-age climate optimum or how it is names. We are probably not even sure about this times, but we know for sure that warmer weather is the end-of-it-all theses days?

Both Events have another thin in common. It’s “We are right, whatever the price”….. And well we know how badly wrong politicians usually are. In Germany 1.7 Billion speak against “getting” it right. The big financial crises, is 100% political infliced. But hey there’s always a cure to too much politics, it’s more politics.

I hope one day we get rid of this Bastards….

Parole is out

No it’s clear, the nuclear power plants should run 15 years longer. Well not really a suprise, but it’ gets a little off when you see, what extra costa are associated with it:
1) there will be a tax on nuclear fuel elements
2) it’s currently open if the big five (that’s thos who have live peacefully in an oligopole here for “providing electricity”) will have to “private found” research in renewable energies (isn’t it funny that
those supposed to provide electricity should not interested in any sort of electricity producing source?) If they won’t do they will have pay into something controlled by the governement (I guess you see the route ahead)

Still open are things like
1) liability (the GAA will just cost around 750 Millions that’s the cap we have here in Germany)
2) waste (since around 40 or so years they have not the slighest idea on where to put the waste)

Ah yes and it’s all in the name of the environment. I guess the costs as Tchernobyl has blown up are just “peanuts…

Funny enough it’s a modern way of selling of indulgence. The end of the nuclear plants were just drawn at around 30 years. (no technical reasons given), now they got 15 years more (no technical reasons) given, but the get extra taxed for earning money with depreciated plants. And so you can see governement makes laws, governement changes laws on the run. It’s just a question on how to bleed everyone as much as one can without killing.

Isn’t it that joyful?
