The Nobel is clear: anti-CO2, nuclear power

nuclear energy has emerged as one of the best solutions to the energy problem and the challenge of climate change on the table for discussion Energy sustainability: renewable, biological nuclear, fossil. What and why? with the participation of Nobel prizes Jerome Friedman, David Gross and Sheldon Glashow in addition to José Manuel Páez, a professor at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, and Emilio Mínguez, Professor of Nuclear Engineering and Vice Rector of the Polytechnic University of Madrid .

Sheldon Glashow Nobel said that the solution for the United States would build three nuclear power stations per year over the next 30 years. "We must change the mechanism of producing electricity and away from fossil fuels by nuclear energy," he added. While the other speakers so far not adopted a clear yes agreed that nuclear power was essential to maintain current consumption levels and able to deal with CO2 emissions.

Despite this support, the Nobel Jerome Friedman explained that "institutional arrangements were needed at the international level" to promote nuclear energy giving priority to countries that have signed the protocols of non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Regarding the controversial waste Emilio Mínguez said that "the maintenance of nuclear waste accounts for between 10-13% of the electricity bill" while Glashow recalled that "nuclear waste are controlled while those produced by the coal plants no one cares about them and are very conaminantes.

also supported the development of nuclear energy but insisted José Manuel Páez smart to invest in electricity transmission networks and
solar energy, as well as enhance energy microgeneration
, which would reduce "by 50% of consumption in the tertiary sector" and "lower costs and power distribution would be on site.

For his part, David Gr oss added that if you get" wind power is spread throughout the world and that 10% of each country is solvent with this energy would be saved millions and millions of tons of CO2. Spain is an example in this regard. "
