The political (not technical) decision to close nuclear power plants in Spain will accelerate the impoverishment that Spaniards are already suffering. A few facts: 1) The cost of closing the plants will be 22600M€. 2) The demolition and recycling will emit 28MTn CO2 . 3) Siemens Gamesa (which manufactures wind turbines) is bankrupt, but the Government of Spain is subsidizing 600000€ for each worker that is not fired. 4) In Galicia and Asturias (areas in the north and northwest of Spain) forests are being cut to put wind turbines. It is a subsidized business and economically they are not profitable. A disaster without equal.
