The associations say NO to Lucan extractions

The Government's decision to intervene in the energy sector Mountains, with serious implications for research and production of hydrocarbons in the Agri Valley, arouses deep dismay.

In a time of severe financial and economic crisis was desirable that the measure, rather than to possible increases in non-specified extraction, possessed of raising royalties in favor of the State and Regions, aligning the values of the Italian 10% with those of international 30%, 40% and even 70%.

The Locomotive, therefore, aware of the risk that the government's decision will have on the fragile ecosystem valligiano, expresses its disappointment, calling for immediate action, by political forces, of associations, Local Government, for the full support of the moratorium already required in the past.

In a valley rich in cultural resources and environmental, historical and artistic, any further consent to raising the abstraction, resulting in expansion of the oil center and increase emissions, mean the mortification of any remaining possibility of coexistence with other sectors of the oil production, with unsustainable damage to the livestock sector, fruit and vegetable, tourism and manufacturing (see each other Elbe), already on its knees.

L'idea malsana, expressed in the accompanying report to the infamous Article Article. 16 (development of national strategic energy and mineral resources), could raise the ceiling of pits previously authorized by vague promises and offensive infrastructure and employment,(CFR. : the establishment of facilities for the extraction of hydrocarbons, often in competition with other land use activities, usually of minor economic value but strongly entrenched and generate employment) do not deserve any comment, requirements, but the commemoration of the development already made similar announcements in the Agreement of 1998, and raises the consideration that the dignity of the people of Lucan is not for sale, as his health and his intelligence.

Therefore expected that the already fragile and precarious balance of the Valley-based invaluable water resources,the scenery and environment are in serious danger, as well as wine and food production and the future of the infant National Park of Lucan, The locomotive relies on the good sense of public institutions and local authorities, certainly not able to be dazzled by the vision of the economy short of oil.

The Agri Valley, with the proportion of more than 100.000 barrels of oil per day so far allowed, already represents an anomaly of the whole Europe. Examples of such exploitation are found only in desert states.

Continue, therefore, along the path of oil, rather than the green energy, innovative sustainable tourism and agriculture, would really sink into a fatal destiny, heading into a dark alley with no way out.

I read with pleasure for some time that different groups have sprung up against the wicked and uncontrolled extraction of oil in the Val d'Agri- Sorrel . But I would like to clarify a very important fact : I remember very well that since 1964 (beginning of the advent of Agip-Eni-It-Total) Basilicata in the only contested city, in solitude, arrogance and theft perpetrated by Luke subsurface oil multinationals with the support of regional and national government policy, This gentleman is called PRESIDENT OF PHILIP MASSARO Organizing Committee CSAIL-pissed Lucani . After so many years, as time is a gentleman, l'Ing. Massaro is now the only one who has all the reasons for his constant battles and improperly person was judged against the development and welfare of basil? Now all point to Massaro and as a precursor of many premunitore “Fault” social and economic products from oil !!!!!!!!!!!
