What nuclear energy means for Africa and Latin America For the majority of people in these two continents and in most countries in America and Africa nuclear energy is a utopia, a physical theory, a quirk of the rich countries or an evil concept that is difficult to imagine something the man has used to create such destruction with a questionable order. By saying the man we do not mean humanity, but the man power embodied by Harry Truman that according to many political analysts in contrast to the history in most history books gave the grim order when, although Japan had not surrendered, the war was already won.

Since Albert Einsten explained the transformation of matter and energy as a conception of the universe and Neils Bohr atom model represents for us is something we see on the news and there in the school science textbooks. But nuclear energy can provide a solution to the high cost of living a problem to which billion people in America, Africa and much of Asia have to deal every day. Cheap energy is one of the factors that would give a level of competitiveness to boost the public and private investment. In Germany after the Japanese Fukushima crisis the construction of seven nuclear plants were postponed, although that country have still the option to produce energy from coal and oil, they say is very expensive, even for them, the richest European country. In total Europe gets 15% of its energy from nuclear. Its fearsome, however, the level of expertise in methodology transparency and safety measures that must be handled for the operation of a nuclear plant to pretend that underdeveloped countries could pull it off, in a world where not even the U.S. Russia and Japan have been entirely successful handling those measures, so that’s why it’s necessary to continue investigating new forms of energy.

Estimates of the cane project of engineer Lee Duarte geo-rotacional energy is that electrical power fees can be reduced to a third and the project investment cost is half of a nuclear plant. The electric energy prices are regulated in many countries, but pressure from multinational companies such as Iberdrola and its dependence on oil prices or shortages of rainfall for hydro energy give reasons to governments for raise rates and force the debate to reverse the process of privatization.

A throughout the Arab world, it looks like the speculation in the global food market, have caused the rise in goods and services needed to survive to the point of producing big political turmoil to try to depose their governments, several countries at the same time. For Afghanistan, an occupied country, the causes of the protests are not only the same as in the other countries in the Arab world but aggravated by the lack of running water and electric power rationing, usable only 4 hours a day. In the rest of Africa and Latin America, malnutrition and health problems are aggravated by the high cost of energy that increase the prices of basic goods with each increase in electricity fees and gasoline prices. This is the origin of the Argentine and Venezuelan governments will for trying to develop nuclear energy.

Feelings to observe the people of Japan during the Fukushima crisis and drama and the hell lived in Russia during the Chernobyl crisis is a mixture of envy and relief. Countries envy us because our energy would be cheaper with nuclear energy and relief at not having to go through the horrible experiences.
