Institutions there ' were Reflections Alberto Asor also published by Corriere della Sera on February 11, 2011 Us The February 5 took place in an exciting and Abbadia S. Salvatore participated Conference on: 'The Amiata and geothermal energy. " I had the privilege to conclude, summing up to the rich discussion in this way: as well as more general environmental and landscape (which in a broader view should be too 'they faced), the exploitation of geothermal' area of \u200b\u200b'Amiata seem to pose two very serious problems:
1) The lowering of the level, and on possible pollution of the reservoir which is valuable Amiata depositary; 2) the hazardous emissions to the health of citizens of the area.
On the first point does not appear to be no reasonable doubt that the same regional technical, present at the conference, they have admitted and honestly presented. Some difference in valuation occurs instead about the extent of that fall: in all cases attributable to such reserves by geothermal power plants.
The second point, the contrast is rather open. President Rossi, as always friendly and helpful, he said, speaking, that "the 43,000 inhabitants of these areas (we also include the geothermal area in the north) have a higher level health in line with Tuscany, which has a level of health among the best in the world (" the Republic", February 6 ). Do not think that statement is based, at least for the part about the Amiata. The technicians of the region, which I heard at the conference, they also spoke of excess deaths "statistically significant" in that area than the rest of the rest of Tuscany, and practitioners, present in large numbers, have had to very concerned about accents. The doctors of the ARS, however, argue that geothermal energy does not matter at all, and to explain the phenomenon of concern to a category that is called " lifestyles " past the same population category that I, ignorant, I would draw more literary than scientific.
As it is (if I could devote much time on this "as it is), my reasoning, which is also the same that I have heard from the vast majority of those present at the conference, often of high scientific level, is as follows: no enough for reasonable doubt (and there are galore) on one as the other point, - in short, on all of the emergency in question - to question an economic strategy based, as is obvious, the achievement of maximum profit and to progressively reduce the exploitation of geothermal energy instead to predict, as is happening, its enlargement? That is the question we pay administrators Tuscany. I would have done well to Abbadia if any of them had showed up to discuss with scientists and citizens present. In my experience this inaction is repeated in a systematic way in all the valuable opportunities for debate and discussion that the Committee would walk. On the other hand, the next day, the bureaux of power, hot press of excommunication and condemnation of the rest in line with contemporary and triumphant press ENEL. It 's not yet another proof that, even if it would be reasonable to expect the opposite, politics and society, politicians and people now marching on two parallel tracks and incommunicable?
