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.
