Copenhagen? “Obama’s confusion” for Greenpeace. Caroline Lucas, the Greens and new nuclear plants in the UK. The Build up portal, energy, buildings and the European Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs. Will nine EU nations build an offshore wind power grid? They are Britain, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Ireland and Luxembourg.

08.10.09 I know that Barack Obama is under pressure for his decisions concerning the health system, but there is another reason to criticise him… Why no reactions by Greenpeace and WWF against Obama and his government that would let Westinghouse go on with Italian policy for – improbable? – nuclear energy? No nuclear energy in Italy is good as in Denmark although Italy is not Denmark… And what about Steven Chu, US energy secretary, who is behaving as a bad politician from this point of view? I am not suggesting that the Republicans are better, but some Democrats are not good.

- Were environmentalists “elated at the election of Barack Obama, and his appointment of the Nobel Prize winning physicist Steven Chu as Energy Secretary”?! Were they really elated?

Furthermore, there was a tv program in Italy that found serious problems in managing nuclear waste in Italy or reports that were not written in a good way… Without considering a ship that was sunk by ‘ndrangheta, the mafia in Calabria, near an Italian coast… Or even a mountain that has been found radioactive in Italy…

Against? I am sure Barack Obama will be against the interest of Westinghouse having to do with the possible – or impossible – nuclear energy project in Italy. Maybe there will be no more nuclear energy produced in Italy…

06.10.09 Session about solar energy at 4pm on Friday 9 October at the European Commission, Charlemagne Building in Brussels, so far I know rue de la Loi 170… EU-Mediterranean-Gulf Renewable Energy Conference…

The Observer. I have read an article by Oliver Morgan and the Observer of Sunday 3 July 2005. It reads: “Last week, BNFL confirmed it was to sell its Westinghouse reactor design business, and senior government officials believe BNG, BNFL’s decommissioning and operations business, is incapable of winning work on UK sites in future without a partner or new owner”.

You may also read the following sentence in that article. “A damning internal report into a major leak of radioactive liquid at British Nuclear Fuels’ Thorp reprocessing plant at Sellafield has found that management was complacent and that the incident was not detected for eight months”. Did everything happen that way?

Another sentence reads: “Thorp has been shut down since detection of the leak, and senior figures at the NDA believe it should not reopen”. How is the situation now?

Suppliers. Are you searching your best electricity supplier or are you simply curious about the energy suppliers? In the UK two of the possibilities could be “Zero Carbon” by British Gas or Green Energy or another one Good Energy. Among the French electricity companies some are the Compagnie nationale du Rhône, the SHEM and the  UEM or Direct Energie which offers Pur Jus. Energy in another country, Germany? Here some societies or offers like AggerStrom Natur, 1·2·3energie, TelDaFax SunPower and PrimaKlima.

07.09.09 Do you think Springsteen has sold more than 1.5 million concert tickets this year? Don’t you? Will you be on Thursday, September 10, in Nashville, Tennessee, at the Sommett Center? And on Saturday, September 12, in Tampa, Florida, at the Ford Amphitheatre?

19.08.09 Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band will be on Wednesday, August 19, at Hartford – in the USA, Connecticut – at the Comcast Theater. The concert will begin at 8.14 pm and… any interest at listening to “Working On A Dream”, “Ghost of Tom Joad”, “The Promised Land” and “The Rising” or “Born to Run”?

Photos. You may listen to the songs from “Working On A Dream”, Bruce Springsteen’s new album, in his website. Among the titles you may also read words like “Queen of the Supermarket” (who will she be?), “Kingdom of Days”, “Surprise Surprise” and “The Last Carnival”. As for the result, it is you who will judge if the work is energetic. “Working On A Dream” will be released in three days. Here’s a photo of the songwriter at the rehearsal of the “We are One” concert or another one with Springsteen and Pete Seeger or also the singer alone.

Green Day. New video, lightly violent,  for the American punk band (the voice and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, the bassist Mike Dirnt and the drummer Tré Cool) from the “Transformers” soundtrack.

Their album’s title is “21st Century Breakdown” and they will begin their new tour in  Seattle at the Key Arena on July, 3rd. One day later they will be in Canada, in Vancouver, at the GM Place, in both cases with the group The Bravery.

The European dates also include Oslo in Norway on October 12 at the Spectrum and  Rotterdam in the Netherlands at the Ahoy.

The unique Irish date will be in Dublin on October 21 at the O2, while the first Australian date will be in Perth on December 4 at the Burswood Dome. New Zealand will be the last country in Auckland on December 19 at the Vector Arena. Please consider that there are other dates in other cities, but they are a lot and I will write more in the next months…

Lake Baikal in Russia.

25.11.09 One of the “worst hotel” in Saint Petersburg? I would not travel to Russia… They should be helping Iran in building nuclear sites.

21.01.09 Guantanamo’s prison next to be closed? Easy or not? This is an interview by the Bbc to an ex-guard and a former prisoner and this is something about an Obama’s promise. He is trying to suspend the military trials related to the Cuban prison for 120 days.

- A military cartoon by a certain Smeltzer about hair and André Agassi, Bruce Willis, Michael Jordan and more. This military branch…

Barroso. The president of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, is convinced of the necessity of  “multilateral responses to global challenges, from the financial and economic crises to peace and security, including in the Middle East, development challenges, and of course the defining struggle of our generation: to stop and reverse climate change”. The Usa, the E.U. and other countries like Russia, China, India and so on… Multilateral responses…

Youth Ball. Obama’s feast and his day have also meant the Youth Inaugural Ball with the singer Kanye West, a band, the actress Demi Moore and the actor Tobey Maguire. Moreover, there were also the rocker Kid Rock, R&B singer Usher and the presenters Sway and Rosario Dawson.

Inaugural: music, a choice and slaves. Obama’s final steps to his journey to the White House mean music as well as we can hear in this Euronews’ report. And the new president of the United States does not plan to follow the choice between security and American ideals, as the Washington Post and the Guardian websites write. The British newspaper refers also to slavery and lets Obama become less “saviour” to me.

01.12.2008 I would like to remember here in this blog the soul singer James Brown who died on Christmas Day on 2006. The “Godfather of Soul” was 73 and made his debut at a venue. Moreover, the director Spike Lee would have thought of making a film about him and Brown would have approved the use of his own music on the soundtrack. The film should be directed in this year and the project should be overseen by the Oscar-winning producer of A beautiful Mind Brian Grazer.

“Man In The Mirror”, Michael Jackson, a friend of him and James Brown. These are the subjects of an obituary by this friend, David Gest, in The Observer.

13.09.09 Dear Americans, you may see again on Wednesday, September 16, an Oprah Winfrey’s 1993 interview with Michael Jackson and, in general, “Oprah Remembers Michael Jackson”. It is “The Oprah Winfrey Show”.

Wax. Jackson in wax at Madame Tussauds in London.

Do you believe in his ghost?

John Mayer. Was there John Mayer at the Memorial?

Memorial. Michael Jackson’s Memorial at the Staples Center in Los Angeles live on CNN’s and MTV’s websites, a news satellite tv station and a music tv station.

Jackson’s death and next days here from the point of view of Italy (in Italian) and here from the point of view of German-speaking countries (in German). Other points of view include the French one and the Hispanic one.

- Cinemas and memorial service

RIP. He has really died. RIP.

“Bad”, “Man in the mirror”, “Thriller” and more. Michael Jackson has died according to the Los Angeles Times. Here’s the news in The Guardian and The Telegraph.

A music television will broadcast his videos till 6 pm on June 26. Then a celebration of him till 7pm and at 2 am.

On Saturday June 27 it will also broadcast about him from 7 am to 10 am and from 10 pm to 1 am of Sunday June 28 as well as from 4 pm to 5 pm. Then, the celebration will go on from 2:30 am to 3:30 am of the night of Monday June 29.

- Michael Jackson, “Bad”

The second channel of this music television will broadcast about Michael Jackson from 1 pm to 2 pm of June 26 and from 11 pm to midnight. On Saturday it will go on at 11.30 am and on Sunday from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. You should also know that buyers of tickets for his London shows would like to receive their refunds and a British jazz radio station, Jazz FM, broadcasts its songs now and then in these days. Motown founder, Berry Gordy, Jacko and the Jackson 5.

- Madonna’s tribute in London

Frankly, I do not believe Michael Jackson is still alive, as two persons – William Stern and Derek Clontz – argue.

02.09.09 These “vegetable enchiladas“or the  cider braised chicken seem tasty although I must admit that as an Italian I do not trust in lasagne in this blog.  And what about cinnamon chipotle porkchops? Last, but not least a chicken and Buffalo in the US, an animal cartoon, or… another cartoon, what does come first, a chicken or an egg?
