Capitanata That was a desirable land for the Lords of renewable energy sources, there were many doubts and we have plenty of sun and wind for panels and wind turbines and agricultural waste for so-called "biomass power plants, raw materials, which are coveted by companies for the generous incentives provided by the State (see the wind turbines without Ordona or near the motorway).

But our land, the Old Daunia, even a small Texas thanks to underground hydrocarbon liquids and solids was aware of a few experts. Now, sifting through official sources such as the Official Bulletin of Hydrocarbons and Geothermal and again (more surprisingly) the Official Bulletin of the Puglia region, you find that our province will not only the proliferation of panels, air generators, but several central also a number of wells to extract gas and oil!

At March 31, 2010 there are four instances of permission to carry out exploration wells (The Convent, Colonial Montarozzo, Posta del Giudice, Serra dei Gatti) and an exploration permit (New Post). But perhaps the thing that most ignore is that, for several years, were granted 12 concessions for crops (or drawings) in the territories of Candela, Lucera, Acquasalsa Colonial, Colonial Grottavecchia, Masseria Petrilli, Melanie, Pecoraro, Tertiveri, Torrente Celone, Torrente Vulgate, Rovello Valley.

The total affected area is 2109.01 square kilometers (the captains has an extension of 6966, 17 square kilometers) and now the facts are 344 wells (on the tot. Of 358 in the whole of Puglia), in 205 there is a gas, two are suspects in gas, 137 oil is unproductive and 9.

Municipalities could see and they have already seen their agro puncture are many: Ascoli Satriano, Biccari, Carapelle, Casalvecchio di Puglia Castelluccio Valmaggiore, Castelnuovo Daunia, Celle San Vito, Foggia, Hvar, Lucera, Manfredonia, Orsara di Puglia Orta Nova, Pietra, Roseto, San Paolo di Civitate, San Severo, Serracapriola, Troy, Torremaggiore Ordona, Deliceto, Cattle, Akkadian, Alberona, Candle, Rocchetta Sant'Antonio, Sant'Agata di Puglia. In

technical departments of all these projects can find common drilling. The companies concerned are: Appenine Energy Society General Hydrocarbons, Medoilgas, Vega Oil, Eni, Edison, Gas Plus Italian.

Well, after we enter on this list, particularly in the Burp No 35 of 03.04.2008. The junta Vendola (Nichi Vendola, leader of the Left "Ecology" and Freedom, the head of the procession "No Oil" Monopoly a few years ago) to give his consent on a report of the then Department for Ecology Losappio (the same inaugurated the plant for the production of RDF, refuse derived fuel or "eco-bales" of Marcegaglia near Borgo Tressanti), the construction of a well permit ("Torrente Celone) 6 km south of Foggia, near Colonial Sipari. In particular, the instance of the exploration permit "Colonial Montarozzo sees dell'Incoronata concerned the Forest, a protected area SIC (Site of Community Importance), the only green lung of a vast area without a tree, as well as seismic area (remember the last earthquake on 17/9/2010, magnitude 4.4 in Foggia, Carapelle, Orta Nova? Well, right there). The junta also
Vendola approve this application with the other? In addition, the technologies used for drilling will be compatible with the agricultural use of land? These questions are legitimate, since it is difficult to get information about it: TV and in local newspapers this topic is not addressed and the silence seems to prevail.

Then, going to browse sites of the various committees that are fighting against the wild drilling, especially at sea, we note an interesting observation: our oil is called "bitter", which, besides being small is rich in impurities and sulfur gas, and is heavy, that has stretched molecules than necessary to "make us the gas." So why all this interest for our alleged deposits by these multinational oil companies?
The answer was given the Programme of Inquiry "Report": when public institutions issuing the authorization, that's the actions of these industrial groups acquire greater value in the stock market. There is no need to go far to see the effects of extraction: in Val d'Agri (Basilicata) citizens began to protest, falling in the square, because oil has led the development they hoped for (the work is subcontracted with contracts insecure) and the lands of farmers are affected by pollution from spills of oil and gas.

We can not predict the future, but we can certainly say that the Region of Puglia has a great responsibility in the permitting and this should prevent always hunting for black gold affect our area.
