Beppe Grillo - What’s talking there on TV is not Italy, it’s the dead, we when we were alive in 1987, we said “no”. The dead ones are continuing to talk. I hear discussions from these folk, dead folk like Veronesi, Fini, and Casini. This Prestigiacomo is the only Minister of the Environment in the world who is talking in favour of this technology, the only one in the world. Germany has stopped. Switzerland is thinking about it. Belgium even. Australia that has almost 30% of the uranium mines ...
Annozero - What are the reasons for the relaunch of the nuclear option in Italy? Why is it happening?
Beppe Grillo - For money. We are doing 5 power stations. We want to do 5 nuclear power stations in France because France has 511 billion euro of our debt. We have sold them our debt and you know very well that when you sell debt to a person, this person becomes master of your life. We, dear ladies and gentlemen, have sold off popular sovereignty through the debt, 511 billion of debt in exchange for 4 or 5 power stations done here. This electrical energy is to be used to create buildings that lose 70% of their energy. We could in fact make buildings that create energy, they make extra energy, and thus creating an energy network. This is intelligence. There’s no point in doing nuclear. Intelligence is the energy of the future. It’s intelligence. The citizens create energy. They communicate it; they pass it on to each other. I create an extra Kilowatt; I pass it on to my neighbour who buys it, who sells it. It’s us that buy it and sell it, like the Internet.
Annozero - However what the pro-nuclearists are saying is: in Italy it’ll be third generation power stations and the risks will be limited.
Beppe Grillo -But what are words? Third generation, fourth generation? But if we didn’t even manage to create an evacuation plan for L’Aquila and there were all the tools to be able to do it, because there were forecasts, previous earthquakes and everything! This nuclear is only cement, towers, cement based on debts. I prefer this country to go under rather than have 5 nuclear power stations in exchange for not going bust! Stop! Enough! I can show you how tomorrow morning you can create a building at 3,500 metres above sea level on a glacier, as the Swiss have done, at the Zurich Polytechnic, just with solar energy, a building 8 storeys high, with 128 bed spaces, with hot water, with the temperature at 20°, with 30° below zero, just with solar energy at 3,500 metres on the glacier of Monte Rosa, OK? In 35 days!
You don’t know anything. You have to get the information. You have the duty to be informed on this topic and you must have the duty to come out into the streets and start to get ready to formally protest for yourselves and for your children! We are at war. No one can get exemption, even you journalists, dear gentle people, you who are hack writers, with this fxxking core that is in meltdown, thousands of people are dying. Still more thousands will die. Most of the people that will die, that have died, have still to die, the ones associated with Chernobyl, the peak number of deaths is still to come. We have something that we are not managing to control and we place it in whose hands? In those of Tronchetti Provera? In whose? In the hands of these people? But have you seen who they are? And Caltagirone and Ligresti, who are they? This riffraff of the Left, of the Right who do clean nuclear, safe nuclear of the fourth generation. Take video footage; keep the clips, that’ll be for our grandchildren. The film clips of these people we have to hang on to because in a year, two years, three years we will go and look at them again and then we will understand who we have had to deal with! Today we are the only ones in the world, together with Erdogan’s Turkey, Berlusconi and Erdogan who want to construct nuclear power stations, the only ones in the world! These people have a mental illness, they are mentally ill!
