How Will I Know I Am Cured Of Herpes

Can we change the energy model?



AvesForum in the electronic forum are discussing the position of NGOs on nuclear energy and wind energy. In this debate, I intervened and I wanted to rescue a part of one of my posts for the blog.

The message said he thought it was a mistake if we raised the debate in terms of whether wind or no wind and had to discuss energy directly on the model. In my view, the challenge is to change the model How?, Because according to the following points:
1) reduce our consumption through awareness, energy efficiency improvements in building models, etc.
2) Enhancement of energy self-sufficiency versus industrial production (solar panels in homes and industries, horizontal small wind, etc.)
3) about the point of production to consumption centers and urban land use and industrial production energy
4) Research on new forms of energy production environmentally friendly
5) disregard the higher risk industries (get into the same package to nuclear, coal, small hydro and wind farms in environmentally sensitive areas) and ,
6) rational water use in prioritizing the use hydropower environmental water to energy.

The problem is to do what I think change is a global energy model that involves economic investment, and what is worse, the powerful business removing energy companies. But I believe there are few solutions that do not pass through here.

As wind power is my opinion that is not bad per se, what happens is that wind development has been carried out in Spain fatal. There has been planning and was transferred to large companies throughout the initiative. So we could have used wind power through horizontal turbines do not kill birds, could also be a or two wind turbines in each of the industrial estates and not have to open thousands of miles of trails in our natural environment, or even have excluded all those places of great ecological value to put wind farms, etc. But as interesting is that the business take him power companies can not be a more rational. To all this our environmental authorities have been blindfolded and ¬ I heard two industry colleagues have covered their mouths.

How should be the energy mix? It makes me more or less the same provided that the above points, for me the debate is elsewhere.

M 49 Spotting Scope For Sale

not bother him now that he plays



I often suspect that biologists from the departments of Environmental Impact Assessment and I have not studied the same race. Apparently we have the same degree, but the knowledge differ significantly. I just came this thought to mind after reading an article in which the director of the work of doubling of the ring Reef, claimed that paralyze the work during the months of April, May and June to observe the nesting season of snowy plover. I imagine that all the good people who have read today the province, would have felt comforted to know that you save this endangered species, but to me the image that has been to mind is that next year, some of these people well, run over or kill their young adults who have been protected this year. Yes, could have played another year.

is quite widespread as a corrective measure in environmental impact statements to include stops biological infrastructure during construction where there are endangered species. Well, this is an outrage. Generally

not have to do work in breeding season in any place where animals can reproduce and that the destruction of nests and litter is prohibited by law, and in those places which plays a threatened species should not ever be the infrastructure, with rare exceptions in which once built will not affect the quality of habitat or life of individuals.

Indeed, the species do not breed each time in a different place, but tend to do in places with suitable habitat for them. Moreover, many species have enormous loyalty to their territory, so it will spoil the year condition is constructed in the following years.

So please, biologists in this country which you dedicate to environmental impact studies or environmental impact statements, directly prohibit the works in time breeding that may involve the destruction of any kind made and not allow the construction of projects shocking if you live there is a threatened species. Meanwhile

fingers crossed for the poor plovers will have to dodge the car wheels.

Reform Act Costas or Biscarrués

According to Wikipedia Havana is in music, a kind of song that originated in Cuba in the late nineteenth century, slow and Quaternary time. Can be sung or purely instrumental, and is a genre adapted and used by different musical groups, as choral groups, bands, choirs and street musicians, etc..

few days ago I asked on Twitter the Popular Party and Democratic Union of Catalonia explain to me the reasons they had to be launched in the Senate, the reform of the Coastal Act. People's Party did not know anything and I replied Democratic Union formally do so to " autoritzar and public festivities a Habanera sung" (pictured reproduce all related messages). You can imagine my face in amazement at first instance and the subsequent laughter.

The answer was a Saturday morning, so it is clear that passed the information he had to spend a good Friday night. The important thing is not the answer itself, the point is that the Popular Party and Convergencia i Unio attempt to change a basic law for the preservation of our coast and do it secretly, without public debate and even without the knowledge of those responsible for communication .

The idea is that this reform will benefit few and hurt us all and this reform can not be made back to the village.

course, now that I think of Havana, and especially in the famous "Farewell my beautiful peninsula" is not the answer as misguided communication department Unio DemocrĂ tica ( the following this link you can hear )
