Ganhou o realismo energético.
E quando for preciso, cá estaremos para lutar para que continue a operar enquanto fizer sentido.
¡Enhorabuena a mis queridos compañeros de Almaraz y a todos los extremeños!
El Gobierno acaba de autorizar que las dos unidades de la central nuclear de Almaraz continúen operando hasta el 8 de junio de 2030, ampliando 31 meses la vida de Almaraz I y 19 meses la de Almaraz II.
La decisión llega después del informe favorable del Consejo de Seguridad Nuclear y el propio Gobierno ofrece argumentos que llevamos mucho tiempo defendiendo quienes conocemos la importancia de la energía nuclear para España.
La situación internacional está provocando volatilidad en los precios de los combustibles fósiles y mantener Almaraz reduce nuestra exposición al gas. Además, su continuidad apenas afectará al despliegue renovable previsto para 2030, con una reducción estimada del 1,4%, mientras permitirá disminuir un 7% la generación con ciclos combinados de gas.
Y hay un argumento especialmente importante: Red Eléctrica, como operador del sistema, señala que la continuidad de Almaraz aporta estabilidad al sistema eléctrico en un contexto de incertidumbre global.
Enresa, por su parte, considera que los residuos adicionales serán poco significativos y no requerirán ampliar las instalaciones de almacenamiento previstas.
Es una magnífica noticia para Extremadura, para sus trabajadores y para todo el sistema eléctrico español. Almaraz seguirá produciendo electricidad abundante, estable y sin emisiones de CO₂ durante casi cuatro años más.
Hoy toca celebrarlo. Y también recordar que los mismos argumentos que justifican mantener Almaraz hasta 2030 merecen ser considerados cuando llegue el momento de decidir qué hacemos después.

Durante décadas, la oposición a la energía nuclear ha sido una de las señas de identidad de buena parte del movimiento ecologista. Por eso resulta especialmente llamativo que una organización ecologista como WePlanet @weplanetint haya publicado un análisis defendiendo la continuidad de la central nuclear de Almaraz.
Su argumento es que si el objetivo es reducir las emisiones de CO₂, proteger el medio ambiente y avanzar hacia un sistema energético descarbonizado, cerrar una instalación que produce grandes cantidades de electricidad de forma continua y prácticamente sin emisiones puede ser un error difícil de justificar.
Según WePlanet, el cierre de Almaraz obligaría a sustituir una parte importante de su producción mediante tecnologías fósiles o mediante importaciones eléctricas procedentes de países vecinos, lo que aumentaría las emisiones y la dependencia energética. También advierte de que una red eléctrica cada vez más electrificada necesitará grandes cantidades de generación estable para respaldar el crecimiento de la demanda.
La organización recuerda además que numerosos países están ampliando la vida útil de sus reactores o construyendo nuevas centrales nucleares para reforzar la seguridad de suministro y acelerar la descarbonización. Mientras gran parte del mundo acelera en esta dirección, España mantiene un calendario de cierre que comenzó a definirse hace años en un contexto energético muy diferente al actual.
El debate tampoco afecta únicamente al sistema eléctrico, porque Almaraz es uno de los principales motores económicos del norte de Cáceres y miles de familias dependen directa o indirectamente de su actividad. La preocupación por las consecuencias económicas y sociales del cierre ha llevado incluso a dirigentes locales de distintos partidos a pedir públicamente una reconsideración del calendario previsto.
Cada vez más voces ecologistas empiezan a preguntarse si cerrar una fuente de electricidad limpia, fiable y disponible las 24 horas del día ayuda realmente al medio ambiente o, por el contrario, dificulta alcanzar los objetivos climáticos.

Today is a big moment for the future of European agriculture.
After more than two years of political debate, scientific engagement, public campaigning, and behind-the-scenes advocacy, the European Parliament's ENVI Committee will vote tonight on proposed amendments to the New Genomic Techniques (NGT) legislation.
The outcome could determine whether Europe finally moves closer to unlocking the benefits of these technologies. NGTs have the potential to help farmers grow more resilient crops, reduce inputs such as pesticides and fertilisers, strengthen food security, and support a more sustainable agricultural system.
There are two possible outcomes.
If the committee rejects the amendments, the legislation can proceed to a final vote in the European Parliament this Wednesday, 17 June. That would bring Europe a major step closer to implementation after years of discussion.
If amendments are adopted, the file will return to further negotiations, creating more delays and uncertainty for farmers, researchers, breeders, and innovators across Europe.
At WePlanet, we've been part of this effort from the beginning. Together with scientists, farmers, policymakers, and supporters, we've worked to keep evidence-based agricultural innovation on the agenda. From open letters signed by Nobel laureates and leading researchers, to policy engagement, media work, events, and public campaigning, we've helped build support for a more science-based approach to agriculture.
Now the finish line is in sight.
Our petition has already been used in policy briefings and meetings with decision-makers. Every signature helps demonstrate that Europeans support innovation in agriculture.

🚨4 days left to act!
The European Union’s clean energy future is under threat, as the potential appointment of two anti-nuclear commissioners risks derailing progress toward clean energy goals.
Act now- act.weplanet.org/eu-commissi…
With Teresa Ribera and Dan Jørgensen in line for key commission roles, their long-standing opposition to nuclear energy could block Europe’s nuclear revival, a key component of achieving climate goals. Despite overwhelming evidence that nuclear is vital to decarbonising the energy sector, these candidates prioritise ideology over science, leaving Europe vulnerable to higher emissions and energy instability.
On November 5th and November the 12th, Jørgensen and Ribera respectively, will undergo the EU confirmation hearings.
Now is the time to act—urge the European Parliament to reject these appointments and ensure climate-focused, science-based leadership for our energy transition.

Um dos maiores entraves à construção de novo nuclear era a falta de bons modelos de financiamento.
Com isso fora do caminho, o desafio agora é desenvolver cadeias de abastecimento robustas.
BREAKING IN NYC: WORLD'S BIGGEST BANKS PLEDGE SUPPORT FOR NUCLEAR
Banks and funds totaling $14 TRILLION in assets have just signed an unprecedented statement in support of nuclear power.
They'll be presenting the pledge to support the goal of tripling nuclear THIS MORNING at the Rockefeller Center in New York City to kick off NY Climate Week.
A few of the names:
Bank of America
Barclays
BNP Paribas
Brookfield
Citi
Credit Agricole
Goldman Sachs
Morgan Stanley
Rothschild & Co
The pledge comes after Microsoft signs deal to buy $16 billion in electricity from a revived Three Mile Island nuclear plant alone over 20 years to fuel its AI ambitions.
I'll be covering live today from the top of the Rockefeller Center, famously built with oil profits, as this unprecedented show of support for the next great energy source overcomes long-held financing barriers.

Para quem tem curiosidade:
Os impactos são insignificantes.
Assim são os impactos ambientais da energia nuclear.
O grande impacto ambiental da energia nuclear é quando se encerram centrais.

Since the 1990s, something 'magical' has been happening. Countries have been successfully decoupling human prosperity from environmental impacts.
WePlaneteer @Rob_DeSchutter discusses what has led to the phenomenon of decoupling and what it means for our future.

“Nós consertamos aquilo que os Verdes quebraram de modo a não empurrar as pessoas para a extrema-direita.”
Environmentalism is dead. Long live environmentalism.
@weplanetint pitches a big tent for ecomodernism that attracts left to center-right, says @KarolinaLisslo. What of the far right that has been gaining so much appeal in Europe? “We fixes what the greens get wrong so that people are not pushed to the far right,” said @AdamBlazowski
WePlanet’s mission is to start a world wide movement to liberate nature and elevate humanity through technologies like nuclear and GMOs and while it started in Europe, the message is resonating with global south countries.
“Next time let’s all meet in Bangladesh,” said Arif Hossain, “the food will be a lot cheaper!”
