We will use solar energy instead of lighting In the whole world, energy crises and increasing of the planet atmosphere temperature lead at new ideas. The companies started to create “green power plant” that will change the alimentation mood of the big towns with electrical energy. Many states from desert started to build giant solar power plant. Israel announced that they would build a solar power plant at Negev that will assure the electrical energy for all the country. The power plant will use glass mirrors, which are chipper than solar panels. New solar power plants will be open by Spanish and Germans. The strongest solar power plant in the world was build at Serpa in Portugal, in common by American and Portuguese companies and produces enough energy for 8000 houses. In this way, Portugal reduced very much the importation of natural gases, energy with green houses effect. The researchers from UE, USA and Japan are convinced that the huge investment in solar energy will have profit on long term. The Pentagon affirms that the humankind has the potential and necessary technologies to build an extra space solar power plant. Romania engaged to UE that until 2010, 30% of energy consumption would be renewable energy. Therefore, 50% of home warm water and 15% of home hitting energy should come from solar energy. The Romanian green energy potential is 65% biomass, 17% wind energy, 12% solar energy, 4% micro hydro energy, 1% + 1% voltaic +geothermal energy. In Romania nowadays, the most used renewable source of energy are wind, geothermal, biomass and solar. Source 9AM |  |

Chernobyl, cases of neoplasm
After the nuclear catastrophe that happened in 26 April 1986 at Chernobyl, were relieve in the atmosphere 100 times more radiations then were issue the atomics bombs to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Even after 20 years, on a radiation of 19 miles the zone around the factory it is not for living. An approximate number of 5 millions people were affected by pollution with radioactive cachet of uranium and plutonium. Between 1992 and 2002, in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, over 4.000 children are larynx cancer or were diagnostic with thyroid neoplasm. Principal cause: high concentration of radioactive iodine in milk. Within months of catastrophe, factory reactor to the Chernobyl was isolated in a cement sarcophagus that has capacity to absorb radiation. The solution is temporary; foreknow to function only 30 years. Source 9am | |
| The snow does not influence the global warming
In 2008, the winter will be normal. It will snow and the temperatures will be normal. Ioan Sandu, general director on National Administration of Meteorology tells us that the snows from the Northern Hemisphere do not cancel the effects of the warming of the world. Temperatures and precipitations appropriate to the global medium characterize a normal winter. For example, January, this year, has normal precipitations and temperatures. For sure, even the winter appeared not as in 2007 when it appeared only in some zones. Romania will be touched by climacteric changes but it will still be four seasons. On global level, the temperatures will grow as they have done in the last years. Even they grow, in some zones they get lesser. The global warming can be considered a natural phenomenon because of the volcanic eruptions and the rotation of the Earth. In the last 2000 years the medium global temperature has grown with 0,7 C grade. But in the last 100 years this has grown by 0,7 C grade because of the industrialization which has grown the quantity of carbon dioxide and because of the cutting of the trees. So STOP the pollution!!! Source 9am students: Emil Sere, Raul Roiti, Oliviu Sarb Photo: Emil Sere |  |
