5 Star nonsense: the war on LEDs is only the latest

After the incredible battles against vaccines, chemtrails, mammograms and so on, in Rome the grillini have now targeted LEDs (new lighting systems), which allow greater energy efficiency and cost reduction thanks to a technology that won the Nobel Prize – Let alone if they were to go to government….

5 Star nonsense: the war on LEDs is only the latest

The grillini in government will be the receptacle of every freak. There are people (professional environmentalists, self-styled left-wing intellectuals, newspapers looking for social alarms, etc.) who spend their time inventing an absurd battle, as long as it is catastrophic and monstrously expensive for the exchequer, to try to capture the attention of .

In Rome, governed by the 5 Stars, they find fertile ground: the pentastallates promote megagalactic nonsense (against the vaccines, chemtrails, mammography etc.) at industrial rates. A group of people in Rome invented, ohibò, the battle against leds, the new lighting systems (light emitting diodes) which, in numerous applications (from indoor and outdoor lighting to household appliances), are replacing the old halogen lamps and are undermining incandescent ones.

The LEDs exploit a technique that he realizes significant savings in efficiency (and therefore cost) of electricity: they do not heat metal filaments to very high temperatures, as in common light bulbs, but a diode, a small device made of semiconductor material (silicon, germanium or indium). The passage of current through this diode generates direct emission of light on the basis of a so-called phenomenon electroluminescence. This avoids energy waste (in the form of heat), inefficient use of electricity and guarantees lifetimes, with lower costs and versatile system uses. Led technology received in 2014 the Nobel Prize for Physics. By now 70% of outdoor (domestic) lighting is LED and 40% that of interiors. Europe promotes and encourages the innovation of LED lamps.

Today a group of intellectuals and environmental associations (Legambiente) appeal to the Raggi junta, as a "friendly" joint, obviously, because replace the new LED public lighting systems (implanted by past administrations) with old incandescent or analog systems: the same ones that environmentalists have been opposing for years to replace them with LEDs.

In Rome, supported by a well-known urban planner, conservationist of everything, Vezio De Lucia, Legambiente has begun the war against the LEDs. They invented that "they disturb the view, confuse the driver and... obscure the monuments". The technique of environmentalists is the usual. As with other technologies (eg wind power), they have been among the main supporters of LED technology when it was necessary to spend money to replace the old halogen or incandescent systems. Now that an industry and a revolution in the energy field have established themselves on LEDs, they are mobilizing against it. And they promote costly battles to replace the systems that they themselves have (at cost) solicited. Crazy.

It is not understandable on what technical basis people are alarmed with statements about "driver's disorder": how did they notice? How many accidents are due to LEDs? As for the "monuments obscured by LEDs": the lighting of the Sistine Chapel was recently completed with LEDs. And, rest assured, those who manage the Vatican's cultural heritage are second to none in terms of technology and innovation. Nor to Legambiente and De Lucia. Nonsense therefore: such as those of chemtrails, the fight against vaccines or mammograms. Shamanism. Here is Italy at Five Stars.
