With
the approval of construction of the Angra 3 nuclear power plant,
I come through this, express my disgust with it. Using nuclear technology
to generate electricity is an economic error that can and should
be avoided, and any viable alternatives that are cheaper and faster
to meet national demand for electricity, renewable sources such
as wind and solar energy.
The resources
needed for the conclusion of Angra 3 (R$ 7.4 billion) could generate
a doubling of energy, in one third of the time if they were invested
in wind energy, for example. You can see that nuclear power is extremely
expensive and Angra 3 would generate only 1353 one thousand megawatts
(MW), only in 2013, while each of the hydroelectric potential has
more than 3 thousand MW, without mentioning that this idea is rejected
by more than 80% of the brazilian population.
Apart from
security problems and irregularities in the sector, as Angra 1 and
Angra 2, which even have deposits for their waste, which remain
radioactive for hundreds of years. Another danger is the risk of
nuclear accidents, if it was really safe does not need so much security,
since no one else invests in nuclear technology anymore. Germany,
a country in which 'sold' Angra 3, has ceased investment in this
area and has already led to the closure of all nuclear power plants
by 2020. This happened in Europe as a whole, except for France.
Moreover, what really would be a focused investment for the future
are renewable energy sources, especially solar, wind and biomass.
With
this lettler, I demand that the federal government does not build
Angra 3, opting for clean energy and secure for our country.
