At a time when struggles against nuclear power plants, large dams and super
thermal plants are becoming more and more common in the developing world,
the need to discuss problems related to energy is becoming more and more

is a political choice which has to be implemented with concern and
understanding of its impact on communities, environment as well as future
generations.
