"I incinerators,"


The "Project Energy" from a few days published on the website of the City of Lucera, has both an impressive value of the quantity of MW (101!) of 3 (three) biogas plants that you want to build, both with respect to the material to be used for the operation of these facilities and both for the financial architecture that supports it. Adhering to the contents of bodied
project (360 pp.) Prepared by the procedure is solely responsible for (RUP) ing. Joseph five for the city of Lucera, it is said that the materials used for the operation of power plants are not only biomass but also, CDR (solid waste). The plants are thus incinerator with all the consequences of mortality and diseases they produce. To "convince" of "little or no environmental impact" (as stated by the commissioner Ienco), the parameters of the Terni plant of 4 MW, while dramatically smaller than expected the project to Lucera, has important health hazards human in terms of quality of emissions. The data of the pollutants are readable in the tables attached to the project. This is not the pyrolysis to reduce impact of harmful emissions!
Other critical issues that the drafter of the plan shows are joined by others who, while not explicit, emerging from the same print-outs attached to the project.
Example: the chain of production of agricultural biomass needed, being low to power a similar potential in MW, is to be implanted with "the cultivation of poplar, which requires a type of land" fertile, deep, permeable, with good water capacity and shallow groundwater. However, Lucera Z5 is inserted in the area, namely in an area with "little or no irrigation water availability." In addition, for the operation of a power plant requires 1,000 cubic meters. of water per hour ... The project, therefore, begins "to make water" just in the water ... and that it would take, however, is missing! But criticism of the project are many and substantial in every area proposed.
The city must be informed and made aware of what you want to appear as a mirage Economic amazing and unlimited profits to be realized.
Why are asked to speed up the implementation steps, first in the City Council, without any confrontation with the city if not with whom they should make a profit from the project?
"The economic resources contained in municipal solid waste - they say - but belongs to the City in the race to ban it decided to grant exploitation and to the dealer for it to LuceRArcadia spa.
the misappropriation of economic resources of the trash produced by the people, in this "playing around" is entered in the spa LuceRArcadia, in which "almost all the technicians of the City will purchase the shares for their profitability. " "The ethical society" as they call it, "the very considerable financial returns" will be inside the same community leaders and officials of the Municipality. El'estensore including the Mayor of the project, the RUP, which has the role of contracting out work and outstanding payments.
Do not you think that conflicts of interest are too full-bodied? Speeding up the project and impressed almost to the classified status of documents published on the website of the Municipality, militate strongly in this direction.
Because no one has ever spoken publicly, there are the commissions board while focusing on this topic? Yet, in cities there "The Sunday Mass" that "tell" the people that are designed based on usage. The "oversight power of the argument" is inherent part of all, perhaps, in the structure of "ethics" of the spa which sees them passionately together in solidarity?

If it is health that these aspiring "Scrooge" like, we say that we have to argue a lot! And we act immediately to inform the city. ask for a City Council monothematic on "Project Energy" open to the public. You too? No! For us is necessary.

The "masters of rubbish" know that the city is tired of being prey to their raids. "
