Gli Stati Uniti investono 80 miliardi di dollari in nuovi reattori nucleari
Il governo americano investirร almeno 80 miliardi di dollari (circa 68 miliardi di euro) nella costruzione di nuovi reattori nucleari. L'accordo, annunciato martedรฌ 28 ottobre, coinvolge Westinghouse Electric Company, controllata dalle societร canadesi Cameco e Brookfield Asset Management.
L'investimento rappresenta uno dei piani piรน ambiziosi per l'energia nucleare americana degli ultimi decenni. Il governo si occuperร di organizzare i finanziamenti e di ottenere i permessi necessari per i reattori Westinghouse. In cambio, riceverร il 20% dei profitti futuri una volta che Westinghouse avrร distribuito 17,5 miliardi di dollari a Brookfield e Cameco. Il governo potrร convertire questa quota in una partecipazione azionaria fino al 20% e richiedere una quotazione in borsa di Westinghouse entro il 2029 se il valore dell'azienda supererร i 30 miliardi di dollari.
L'accordo dร seguito a un decreto firmato dal presidente alla fine di maggio, intitolato "rivitalizzare il parco nucleare industriale". Il decreto fissa l'obiettivo di avere dieci reattori convenzionali in costruzione entro il 2030. A maggio l'amministrazione Trump aveva anche ordinato alla Nuclear Regulatory Commission di ridurre le regolamentazioni e accelerare le licenze per i nuovi reattori, con l'obiettivo di ridurre un processo che dura diversi anni a soli 18 mesi.
Il ritorno del nucleare negli Stati Uniti รจ trainato principalmente dalla domanda crescente di energia elettrica dei giganti tecnologici. I loro centri dati, necessari per elaborare l'intelligenza artificiale, richiedono quantitร enormi di elettricitร . Google, Microsoft e Amazon hanno giร firmato accordi per rifornirsi da tecnologie nucleari di nuova generazione. Lunedรฌ NextEra Energy e Google hanno annunciato un accordo per riavviare una centrale nucleare inattiva in Iowa, che tornerร operativa nel 2029.
L'interesse rinnovato per il nucleare arriva dopo oltre un decennio di abbandono di questa fonte energetica. Gli Stati Uniti non hanno avviato la costruzione di nuove centrali dal 2009. L'impopolaritร del nucleare era dovuta a una serie di incidenti - Three Mile Island nel 1979, Chernobyl nel 1986 e Fukushima nel 2011 - e alla reputazione di costi eccessivi e ritardi nei tempi di realizzazione.
Gli ultimi due reattori messi in servizio negli Stati Uniti, nel sito di Vogtle in Georgia nel 2023 e 2024, sono costati oltre 35 miliardi di dollari, piรน del doppio dei 14 miliardi preventivati, e sono stati completati con circa sette anni di ritardo. I problemi nella costruzione di quei reattori furono cosรฌ gravi che Westinghouse dichiarรฒ bancarotta nel 2017, prima di essere acquisita da Brookfield.
Tuttavia, l'invasione dell'Ucraina da parte della Russia ha stravolto gli equilibri del mercato energetico, spingendo gli Stati a diversificare gli approvvigionamenti. A questo si รจ aggiunta l'accelerazione del consumo di elettricitร causata dalla crescita dei centri dati con l'espansione del cloud e dell'intelligenza artificiale.
Oltre ai nuovi reattori, gli operatori energetici e i gruppi tecnologici stanno riavviando centrali esistenti. Alla fine di giugno la governatrice di New York, Kathy Hochul, ha annunciato il progetto di una nuova centrale, quattro anni dopo la chiusura del sito di Indian Point. Constellation Energy e Microsoft hanno stretto un accordo per riattivare un'unitร della centrale di Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania per alimentare i centri dati di Microsoft.
L'accordo include anche la partecipazione del Giappone, che martedรฌ ha annunciato investimenti fino a 332 miliardi di dollari per sostenere le infrastrutture negli Stati Uniti, inclusa la costruzione di reattori Westinghouse. Le aziende giapponesi Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Toshiba e IHI potrebbero essere coinvolte nella costruzione di reattori per un valore fino a 100 miliardi di dollari.
Westinghouse propone due modelli di reattori: gli AP1000 e gli AP300. Gli AP1000 sono reattori ad acqua pressurizzata con una potenza di poco superiore a un gigawatt, giร validati dall'autoritร di regolamentazione americana e utilizzati nelle due unitร di Vogtle. Gli AP300 sono piccoli reattori di nuova generazione da 300 megawatt, ancora in fase di omologazione.
Nonostante l'entusiasmo, restano dubbi sulla realizzabilitร del progetto. La costruzione di nuovi reattori nucleari negli Stati Uniti si รจ rivelata difficile a causa dei costi crescenti e delle preoccupazioni pubbliche per possibili incidenti. I critici sottolineano che le fonti rinnovabili come il solare e l'eolico sono molto piรน economiche del nucleare. Inoltre, rimane il problema delle scorie radioattive, che restano pericolose per migliaia di anni e vengono attualmente conservate nei siti delle centrali.
Le azioni di Cameco sono salite di oltre il 25% martedรฌ dopo l'annuncio dell'accordo. Il ministro del commercio Howard Lutnick ha dichiarato che il partenariato "incarna la visione del presidente Trump di riconquistare la sovranitร energetica, creare posti di lavoro ben retribuiti e collocare gli Stati Uniti in prima linea nella rinascita del nucleare". Il segretario all'energia Chris Wright ha aggiunto che Trump aveva promesso una rinascita dell'energia nucleare "e ora la sta realizzando".
โhaunted tapeโ by Eight, 10/10/2021
you may want me dead
and sundered into pieces
smaller than grains of sand
but youโll never tell
and I will never know
such is the punishment for twenty hours
of touch that is torture in hindsight
such is the punishment for
shattering a fragile peace
and believe me, if I could destroy
myself that utterly
donโt you think I would have
already?
surely you also know the hell Iโve
seen?
is it strange that I can still
see her face in nearly perfect detail
square jaw and blue hazel eyes
I rewind the tape again
and again โ
how do you not get what you want
when it is offered freely
before you even ask?
before you even consider
what it is you want?
you only wanted security
and safety
and the comfort of routine
I wanted her
and I wanted you, too, once or twice โ
now I hold in the pain you
wish you could see.
someday you might get your
wish. someday I might
be broken into
twenty six billion pieces
just like I did to my
dreams
like you did to my trust
and faith in a found home
and I will go my fate
head unbowed
still wondering if I
deserved it
but still I carry on
intact on the outside
I find my strength in
brokenness
do I leave a piece of me
in everything I leave behind?

New York declares state of emergency to help food banks in shutdown
New Yorkโs governor, Kathy Hochul, has declared a state of emergency to raise $65m to help food banks as federal funding for the national food stamps program is set to expire on Saturday due to the government shutdown.
The move comes after Oregon and Virginia also declared emergencies to make funds available to cover the anticipated short fall in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (Snap), which provides food aid to nearly 42 million people.
New York receives nearly $650m a month in federal funding for Snap benefits, according to Department of Agriculture figures.
Oregon governor Tina Kotek on Wednesday pledged $5m to food banks and declared a 60-day food security emergency. Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin has said the state will draw on surplus funds to pay for up to a month of Snap benefits.
The declarations come amid an ongoing standoff between the Trump administration and the Republicans, on one side, and the Democrats, over a federal government funding package. Neither Congress nor the White House has acted to fund November Snap benefits, which cost around $8bn a month.
