By 2040, ice of arctic will vanish. Thus, we have to take strong measures to avert it now.
In the book, as to theory should be universally applied, Slavoj Zizek says he doesn't agree with people insist to take measures thoughtlessly, and he says we need theory controlling our industrials.
That is, he indicates imperfection of market, market can chose worser ways. The example he mentioned is "Beta and VHS". Everyone knows Beta is better. But our market choose VHS, although we should have choose Beta if we seek best picture quality. He says we need another theory to lead this world to furthermore better situation.
I think it is difficult to understand what happen to me now, what I am now. Slavoj Zizek says it is difficult to understand what happen to this world now, what we are now. I think it is too difficult to let friend on car running fast because we can't stop the car, the development of industry.
We are getting on a bus and we think things will be better but no one intend to brake. Even though we can't brake now, we must slow this bus to buy ourself some time to think and to switch careers because we know this road doesn't continue and we know we would crash.
I decided to cut back my utility costs more. If we cut back 1% of our amount of consumption, the future may change. Christmas illumination is beautiful this year too. But I think there are places which doesn't need to be illuminated. If those bulbs are not light-emitting diode, it maybe that those should be turned off.
On this occasion, I checked detail of electricity supply out. In Japan, as of 1993, 31.2% of energy supplied of Japan is provided by nuke plants. 19.1% of total amount is provided by oil-fired plant. 12.0% is provided by coal thermal power plant. 22% is LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas). 12.3% is hydro power. 3.2% is others.
As of 2000, 34.1 % by nuclear power, 9.1% by oil-fired plant, 18.4% by coal, 26.4% by LNG, 9.6% by hydro power, 1.9% by others. It means 55.9% of total amount is provided by thermal power. It is taller figure more than I expected.
The carbon-dioxide emission per 1kWh is:
Nuke : 22 grams
Hydro : 12 grams
LNG : 608 grams
Oil : 742 grams
Coal : 975 grams
In Japan, the more environment get worse, the more the number of anti-nuke plants people is decreasing. For a period of time, nuke plants are regarded as danger plants, but thermal power generation is the danger one now. Even though nuke plants are not safe, it seems to be the best transitional measure among we have for Japan.
I took the photo in front of Tokorozawa station. I don't like the trees because their blue color makes me to feel cold!!!
