Pending technologies
There are many attitudes to climate change. The former are those who deny that the climate has always changed and that the phenomenon that is taking place cannot be distinguished from the fluctuating cycles that have occurred in millions of years on earth. But they don't take into account the speed of this change, which has accelerated remarkably since the Industrial Revolution began.
The second position is made up of people who approve of change and say that the forceful use of technology will solve climate change. To do this, investments must be accelerated to curb warming. These investments should be directed towards economic sectors in which the effect of heat is produced and expanded. These economic sectors are related to the consumption of non-renewable fossil energies, especially the transport system. And to curb climate change if these sectors reduce consumption, the use of adapted technology will be decisive. In it we will mention two sectors: Electric Car (AE) and chip industry.
It was considered that the use of the EE would be a good tool to curb climate change, however, as experience increases, its use has only reduced optimism. In fact, the basic component of EA is the battery, and from its duration until it overcomes the load difficulties, there are many problems. And that is that for battery production, especially lithium, it is basic and very little is found around the world, although there is now hope that sodium will be its substitute, spare element. Furthermore, EC, besides being too expensive, have too short survival. Petrol and diesel are therefore unique and sales of conventional vehicles remain higher than sales of electric vehicles, with a slower than expected replacement.
Electric cars barely pollute inside the city, but because they need lithium, when they get out of mines, huge disasters and pollution occur.
The EA barely pollutes within the city, but due to the need for lithium, when extracting them from mines there are huge disasters and pollution. And once the batteries are changed, it's very difficult to recycle them. Therefore, through the EA we will get pollution from the cities, but before we leave the mining areas contaminated in the third world. Once again, the consequences of our prosperity and well-being.
Current technological developments are associated with the Shipyan industry, where Asian countries, particularly China, Taiwan and South Korea, also depend on lithography machines, as the Netherlands is the country that has dedicated them. In order to win this competition, the US and the EU reorganise their chip production strategy, especially with the aim of weakening China’s economic development.
In this way, huge public-private investments are being made, in which great use is being made of public money. For example, in the French State, in the Grenoble area, a chip production centre is being built, as it is a suitable place and with adequate water. But this project requires a high consumption of electricity and water, as it will be spent as much as a city like Grenoble (160,000 inhabitants). Therefore, while climate change creates water shortages, to cope with this change, abundant water must be used in the new technologies. A great contradiction!
The third position is the defense and execution of economic decline. Our planet is limited and nature is about to end every resource to the detriment of our descendants. However, an agreed process of extinction must be launched as soon as possible so that it is not implemented.

The day of the pastor of Huarte explained that Euskal Herria has been awarded the recognition to participate in international sheepcutting competitions. The officiality occurred at the 2023 World Championships in Scotland, as a result of the dossier presented by the Basque mozas... [+]
Surely, most of us have already bought, here and there, the gifts for Christmas. Because the night visit to Olentzero is a great quote, especially for the youngest. Everyone is preparing for this fruitful era of the year: Bilbao burns as much as Vitoria, Pamplona and Baiona,... [+]
What surprised you the most when you left jail? I've been asked many times in the last year and a half.
See that the streets of Bilbao are full of tourists and dogs with two legs, for example? Or the changes in the political situation? The first one has tired me and annoyed me... [+]
The issue of aid for Basque learning is really confusing. The citizen who wants to learn Basque must go to more than one window to know how much the course he wants to take and where, how and when he will get the grants. Because it still costs money to study, nothing is free... [+]
The understanding and interpretation of the mathematical language is what is important in the learning process, at least it is what we say to our students. The language of mathematics is universal, and in general, the margin of error for interpretation tends to be small. We... [+]
In the meetings we get together of everything, and the meetings characterize us at the moment when everyone has their role, their power (or their lack), their age, their vital moment. But there are always those who calm down. Lete was singing to us that when we were older, we... [+]
Perhaps one of the weaknesses of human beings is the tendency we have to listen to and care for the majority. It has certainly been an important feature of the development of our species and necessary for survival. But with digitalization, that characteristic that we have makes... [+]

You're in the bar, in the bar, asking. At the counter, other people too. It will soon take your turn, but the servant has not asked you what you want, he has saved you and he has taken care of the man who has come behind you. You have a stupid face and you want to draw the... [+]
I'd like to write to this thing that I'm inside. Almost five years have passed since the pandemic, and those of us who were young at the time, although we are still young, have begun to orbit in other spaces. Housing, the project of life, maternity, work, health... the agendas of... [+]
Remember? 90% of Parliament adopted the Education Agreement two centuries ago – forgive me, two years ago. The reaction of the leftist congressmen moved between euphoria and moderate satisfaction. According to the approved document, private institutions would continue to... [+]
Being is doing. This is what the Durango Fair says this year, and it is true, at least in the case of the fair itself and taking into account Euskal Herria. This edition is already the 59th edition of the Azoka, and the fact that each year is celebrated shows that the Durango... [+]
In Bilbao, I worked for five years with groups at risk of exclusion around the digital divide, especially with women. Along the way, I came across machistan violence and many other problems. In a very organic way, I began to relate to myself and to understand the work of the... [+]
