“Batti le mani e si accendono le luci”: questa la sintesi della domotica fatta da mio padre ormai dieci anni fa, quando cercai di spiegargli di cosa mi occupavo. Sintesi, inutile a dirsi, abbastanza lontana dalla realtà. Non credo che nel frattempo la sua percezione sia cambiata molto. E lo stesso vale per la maggior parte delle persone, inclusi alcuni addetti ai lavori. Ma cosa è la domotica? È un sistema digitale integrato di gestione degli impianti in ambito domestico, ossia un sistema...

«Il nostro Paese è davvero un caso a sé nel panorama energetico del continente. Da che detenevamo un primato nel mondo nel campo del nucleare, siamo diventati ultimi, per incapacità politica, paure esagerate, interessi occulti e ipocrisie ambientali». Compriamo energia nucleare fatta a pochi chilometri dal confine anziché produrla noi. Confondiamo tossicità con radioattività, i rischi di una centrale atomica con quelli di una bomba atomica. Crediamo che i rifiuti e le scorie siano due co...

1. Poche informazioni solo pubblicità al loro sito! - Sono interessato a questo argomento e speravo di trovare informazioni utili ma in realtà si dice poco e spesso si rimanda il lettore al loro sito o al contatto con un loro "Energy Marker"! Farsi pubblicità con un libro venduto a , è un comportamento alquanto scorretto.

Quali sono le prospettive sull’utilizzo dell’energia nucleare? Il dibattito sulla transizione ecologica e sulle strategie per combattere i cambiamenti climatici ha riportato d’attualità, in Italia, il tema del nucleare. Contrariamente a quanto pensano molti osservatori, l’energia nucleare, o meglio la produzione di energia elettrica generata dal calore della fissione nucleare, non è affatto superata. Oltre alle centinaia di reattori nucleari in esercizio nel mondo, molti progetti innov...

This book is a reality check of where energy will come from in the future. Today, our economy is utterly dependent on fossil fuels. They are essential to transportation, manufacturing, farming, electricity, and to make fertilizers, cement, steel, roads, cars, and half a million other products. One day, sooner or later, fossil fuels will no longer be abundant and affordable. Inevitably, one day, global oil production will decline. That time may be nearer than we realize. Some experts predict oil ...
