ndi Linda Pentz Gunter, Pambuyo pa Nuclear International, November 1, 2021
Ndiye tabweranso ku COP ina (Conference of the Parties). Chabwino, ena a ife tiri ku Glasgow, Scotland ku COP mwiniwake, ndipo ena a ife, wolemba uyu adaphatikizapo, tikukhala patali, kuyesera kukhala ndi chiyembekezo.
Koma iyi ndi COP 26. Izi zikutanthauza kuti zakhalapo kale 25 amayesa pothana ndi zovuta zomwe zidalipo kale komanso zomwe zatigwera tsopano. Magulu makumi awiri ndi asanu a "blah, blah, blah" monga wachinyamata wotsutsa zanyengo, Greta Thunberg, moyenerera.
Chotero ngati ena aife sitimva manyazi a chiyembekezo m’masaya athu, tingakhululukidwe. Ndikutanthauza, ngakhale Mfumukazi yaku England wakhala ndi zolankhula zonse-ndi-osachitapo kanthu za atsogoleri athu a dziko lapansi, omwe akhala, mokulira, opanda ntchito. Ngakhale, nthawi ino, palibe. Ena a iwo akhala oipa kuposa pamenepo.
Kusachita chilichonse chokhwima panyengo pakadali pano ndi mlandu wotsutsana ndi anthu. Ndipo china chilichonse chamoyo padziko lapansi. Ziyenera kukhala zifukwa zowonekera ku International Criminal Court. Pa doko.
Koma kodi mpweya wotenthetsera dziko umatulutsa ndi chiyani pakali pano? Kuwonjezera ndi kuwonjezera awo zida za nyukiliya. Upandu wina wotsutsana ndi anthu. Zili ngati sanazindikire kuti dziko lathu lapansi likupita kale ku gehena mumtanga. Amangofuna kufulumizitsa zinthu pang'ono potibweretseranso Armagedo ya nyukiliya.
Osati kuti zinthu ziwirizi ndi zosagwirizana. Makampani opanga mphamvu za nyukiliya wamba akusakasaka kwambiri kuti apeze njira zothetsera nyengo za COP. Yadzitchanso "zero-carbon", lomwe ndi bodza. Ndipo bodzali silingatsutsidwe ndi andale athu ofunitsitsa omwe amabwereza mwachidwi. Kodi iwo alidi aulesi ndi opusa chotero? Mwina ayi. Werenganibe.
Mphamvu ya nyukiliya si njira yothetsera nyengo. Sichingakhale ndi vuto lililonse lazachuma, poyerekeza ndi zongowonjezera komanso kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zamagetsi, komanso sichitha kutulutsa pafupifupi magetsi okwanira munthawi yake kuti zisawononge kuwonongeka kwanyengo. Ndiwotsika pang'onopang'ono, wokwera mtengo kwambiri, wowopsa kwambiri, sunathetse vuto lake la zinyalala ndipo umabweretsa chiwopsezo chowopsa cha chitetezo ndi kuchuluka.
Mphamvu ya nyukiliya ndiyotsika pang'onopang'ono komanso yokwera mtengo kotero kuti zilibe kanthu kaya ndi 'low-carbon' kapena ayi (osasiyapo 'zero-carbon'). Monga wasayansi, Amory Lovins. Ngati gwero la mphamvu likuyenda pang'onopang'ono komanso lokwera mtengo kwambiri, "lingachepetse ndi kulepheretsa chitetezo cha nyengo," mosasamala kanthu kuti ndi 'carbon yotsika' bwanji.
Izi zikusiya chifukwa chimodzi chokha chokhalira ndi chidwi ndi ndale ndi kusunga makampani opanga mphamvu za nyukiliya: kufunikira kwake ku gawo la zida za nyukiliya.
Ma reactors atsopano, ang'onoang'ono, othamanga apanga plutonium, yofunikira pamakampani opanga zida za nyukiliya monga Henry Sokolski ndi Victor Gilinsky a Nonproliferation Policy Center Center pitilizani kuloza. Zina mwazomwe zimatchedwa ma micro-reactors zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito kulimbikitsa malo ankhondo. Boma la Tennessee Valley Authority likugwiritsa ntchito kale zida zake ziwiri zanyukiliya kuti apange tritium, "chofunikira" china chofunikira pa zida za nyukiliya komanso kuwonongeka kowopsa kwa zida zankhondo ndi zida zanyukiliya.
Kupititsa patsogolo ma reactor omwe alipo, ndikumanga zatsopano, kumasunga moyo wa ogwira ntchito komanso chidziwitso chofunikira ndi gawo la zida za nyukiliya. Machenjezo owopsa akuperekedwa m'mabwalo akuluakulu okhudza chiwopsezo cha chitetezo cha dziko ngati gawo la zida za nyukiliya lizimiririka.
Izi sizongopeka chabe. Zonse zalembedwa m'mabuku ambiri kuchokera ku mabungwe monga Atlantic Council ku The Energy Futures Initiative. Zafufuzidwa bwino ndi akatswiri awiri apamwamba pa yunivesite ya Sussex ku UK - Andy Stirling ndi Phil Johnstone. Izo sizimayankhulidwa konse. Kuphatikizira ndi ife mu gulu lodana ndi zida za nyukiliya, zomwe zidadabwitsa Stirling ndi Johnstone.
Koma mwanjira ina zimangowonekeratu. Pamene ife mu gulu lodana ndi zida za nyukiliya timasokoneza ubongo wathu kuti timvetsetse chifukwa chake mikangano yathu yamphamvu komanso yokakamiza yotsutsana ndi kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu ya nyukiliya pa nyengo imagwera kosatha m'makutu ogontha, mwina tikuphonya mfundo yakuti mikangano ya nyukiliya ndiyofunikira pa nyengo. Timamva kuti ndi imodzi yokha yotchinga utsi.
Osachepera, tiyeni tiyembekezere choncho. Chifukwa njira ina imatanthauza kuti andale athu ndi aulesi ndi opusa, komanso opusa, kapena m'matumba a zowononga zazikulu, kaya nyukiliya kapena mafuta oyaka, kapena mwina zonsezi. Ndipo ngati ndi choncho, tiyenera kudzikonzekeretsa tokha kuti tipeze "blah, blah, blah" pa COP 26 komanso chiyembekezo choyipa cha mibadwo yapano ndi yamtsogolo.
Chifukwa chake, ndife othokoza kwa anzathu omwe abwera nawo ku COP 26, omwe amalimbikitsa-m'malo mopendekeka -miyendo yamphepo yamphepo pomwe akufotokozeranso, nthawi inanso, kuti mphamvu ya nyukiliya ilibe malo, ndipo imalepheretsa njira zothetsera nyengo.
Ndipo ndikuyembekeza kuti adzanenanso kuti mphamvu za nyukiliya zamtengo wapatali komanso zosatha siziyenera kukwezedwa - pansi pa chinyengo cha njira yothetsera nyengo - monga chifukwa chopititsira patsogolo malonda a zida za nyukiliya.
Linda Pentz Gunter ndi katswiri wapadziko lonse ku Beyond Nuclear ndipo amalembera ndikusintha Beyond Nuclear International.
