Post 6 : Environmental Issues


Okay, with respect the topic. I’m gonna write today about an environmental issue in specific. Personally, I’ve really interested about Thermoelectric centers. I don´t like them, I think that they are the worst energy production, meanwhile exists others ways to produce energy for our country.


It’s necessary invest for producing others forms efficient less, like Hydroelectric and Wind-energy. The types of energies mentioned before have an important impact too, but it is easier revert the environmental's damage.


The Thermoelectric centers produce gases that increase the Global warming. But not only that, the thermoelectric centers need refrigerate their motors and machinery, is for that they are near of natural water course or sea. When they use this water to refrigerate, they return same water but it is warmer than before. This is a very important problem, why? 
The water is a home for a lot of microorganisms, plants (algae) and animals; and the temperature is a vital factor for their survival! An example about this is turtles affected by Thermoelectric Castilla. This center is the biggest thermoelectric of Latin America! The people and fishermen that use the water recourse will be compensated, but the money can replace their work? The nature beauty? The wildlife?

But, why projects like mentioned before are approved? A lot of analysis talk us about impact from thermoelectric centers and how they affect the culture patrimony, because the people will have to leave the intervened zone.
But, is necessary stop our country development? No, only we need more awareness and looking ahead. Today is important the easy-money, but if we don’t prevent the pollution excess, tomorrow the well being of nature will be worst, thus our health too.

  2. I disagree with thermoelectric because those things make worst the pollution in everywhere and in every ways and they with the cost of those projects they may make a better way to used energy or make a less damage in the world
