Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists 72.1 (2016): 32-38. 3 +Currently, the most influential factor in any Israeli bid to construct nuclear power plants is energy diversification, which in the Israeli context relates to both national security and economic considerations. From a security perspective, Israel is an island that cannot rely on its immediate neighbors for energy exports, because of ongoing regional conflict. Thus energy diversification is crucial to guarantee energy supply. From the financial perspective, Israel’s dependency on imported energy sources makes it highly sensitive to price fluctuations in global energy markets, and Israel is thus motivated to develop its own energy sources – including nuclear power – to mitigate this sensitivity. 4 + 5 +Next, a drop on energy will destroy Israel’s stability – Turns Case Eldar 7/11 6 +*Brackets used in article 7 +Shlomi Eldar August 11, 2016 - How Gaza's electricity crisis is becoming Israel's water catastrophe. http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/08/gaza-stip-electricity-crisis-water-pollution-aquifer-shore.html#ixzz4LH7tQPGh 8 +Without electricity, water cannot be produced and wastewater cannot be treated,” said Eilon Adar, a hydrologist and the former director of Ben-Gurion University’s Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research, Department of Environmental Hydrology and Microbiology in Beersheba. “An aquifer knows no borders. Water does not stop at a border. At the moment the damage is negligible, but Gaza is now dumping its untreated wastewater near the Beit Lahia wastewater treatment plant. This site, founded a number of years ago with Israel’s agreement, is only about 200 meters 660 feet from Israel’s border and the effluent ‘lake’ seeps into the coastal aquifer.” According to Adar, when Gaza's wastewater treatment plant does not function, Israel stands to suffer as well. The ramifications of this can already be seen. “Gaza sends wastewater to the area of the nonfunctional treatment plant, causing the water level to rise. A virtual mountain of underground water has been created that will flow to the only place in Gaza that still has drinkable water. That water will become contaminated and then disaster will hit. Once contaminated water permeates potable water, it will be almost impossible to fix the situation. - EntryDate
