"The Ministry of Environment has granted the Way for a favorable combined cycle power plant"
this article published by But what gave the Molise region in terms of energy effectively? We try to do two accounts and some comparison with other regions of Italy. To date in California produces more than 2,830 GWh in electricity demand, which stood at 1,531 GWh. This situation of surplus electricity, compared to domestic consumption, is not an isolated example. There is in fact the same situation also in the following regions of Italy: Valle d'Aosta (+2124 GWh), Trentino Alto Adige (+4192 GWh), Liguria (+3273 GWh), Abruzzo (+1030 GWh), Puglia (+ 14,490 GWh), Calabria (+4193 GWh). By analyzing in detail the electricity balance in our region emerge meaningful data: the installed capacity of wind turbines has increased by 45 MW compared to 2008, reaching total wind power production capacity of 237 MW thermoelectric power, however, remained stable and amounted to 1,265 MW.
same time it is interesting to study what happens in another region a strong vocation energy (and leisure): Valle d'Aosta. In this region, which competes with our bringing up the rear in the number of PV systems installed (we speak of the sun of the Alps to the sun of the central southern!), Produces about 3158 GWh from hydro (the one with the territory) against a local power consumption of only 822 GWh.
will therefore be asked: is it really correct to protest against wind energy, energy of our country safer, to which we are rich and Molise thanks to which we may finally find the way out of a dramatic economic situation?
This question assumes even greater significance when one considers that the Decree 843 of 18.11.2010 (only 5 days before the demonstration against the wild wind in which it was held that: "Molise has already given") the Ministry of the Environment, Land and Sea, together with the Ministry for Cultural Heritage has granted the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) suitable for a combined cycle power plant (much like the one installed in the industrial area of \u200b\u200bTermoli) power of 780 MW to be implemented in Venafrana.
This kind of center, that is certainly one of the best solutions in terms of energy efficiency (almost 60%), is characterized by reduced pollutant emissions (methane is the fuel used) than other thermal power plants, but emissions are always speaks. It therefore remains a doubt about the need to build a power plant of its kind in a region like the Molise, characterized, as mentioned above, a significant surplus of electricity and the presence of a similar center is already operating in the area. Ben
are systems of this kind in Italy, and very efficient from the point of view environmentally more sustainable than others, but would it not be appropriate to address where there is a shortage of electricity production?
In the case of combined cycle power plants, in fact, there is a close connection with the territory where they are made, while the wind, like all renewable sources, shall be installed where there is wind resource, cycles combined should be made where there is a real energy gap (such as in Campania). It should, therefore, that politicians Molise reflect on the need to initiate a serious planning and regulation of power plants to be implemented in the Region. It would be desirable, in fact, one side to limit the number or power, the power plants conventional sources (as harmful to the environment and human health), and the other for the dissemination of renewable sources and not disciplining limitations (wind farm first place).
Bruno Mignogna (Energy Economist)
Bertolussi keen to stress that the accounts Istat no mistake: "The National Institute of Statistics does is apply the provisions of Eurostat (European Institute of Statistics), which states that systems of national accounts All European countries must include in the count of the national GDP the economy is not observed . That is, the undeclared economic , in Italy, we assume it was in 2009 between 231.9 and 255.9 billion to € .
So our national GDP (which in 2009 amounted to 1.5208 trillion euro) includes the amount attributable to the black economy estimated annually by ISTAT. The tax burden, and that 'the ratio between tax revenues and GDP is produced in a year, in 2009 reached 43.2%.
The CGIA Mestre , however, wanted to "reverse" wealth produced by the submerged portion attributable to economic, calculating the tax burden on real GDP . By this "truth", GDP decreases (then "shrinks" even the denominator) and therefore increases the result that emerges from the report. That is, the tax burden.
According to the estimation of the CGIA Mestre, in 2009 the tax burden "real" weighing on the Italian taxpayer has fluctuated between a hypothesis and a hypothesis at least 51% of the maximum 51.9%.
At methodological level, we report that the most recent data from Istat reported to the economic weight is of irregular forms in 2006. For subsequent years, the Office of the CGIA studies carried out to apply the same impact that the economy was submerged in GDP in 2006. This allows us to say that, given the probable increase of unauthorized and illegal work done in recent years of severe economic crisis, there troviamo di fronte ad un valore economico del sommerso riferito al 2009 molto sottostimato. Per questo la Cgia ritiene che il livello della pressione fiscale reale è da ritenersi più vicino all’ipotesi massima (51,9%) anziché a quella minima (51%) . Complessivamente, tutti i contribuenti fedeli al fisco (autonomi, dipendenti, imprese, pensionati, etc) hanno pagato in più di imposte e contributi una cifra che, nel 2009, ha oscillato tra un’ipotesi minima di 100,1 e un’ipotesi massima di 110,5 miliardi di euro. “Una ulteriore dimostrazione – conclude Giuseppe Bortolussi segretario della Cgia di Mestre – che, chi in Italia è conosciuto dal fisco, subisce un prelievo fiscale well above the official statistics. So it is absolutely necessary a serious fight on behalf of the black economy and tax evasion, who is completely unknown to the tax authorities. By increasing the audience of taxpayers so that we can reduce taxes and subsidies to those who now pays more than necessary. "
The methodology used by the CGIA to calculate the tax burden "real" part of the ratio between the total amount of levy and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which refers not only to the wealth produced in a year from regular activities, but also from under water, that is not in compliance with the tax authorities. The latest estimates of the size of the informal economy Istat refer to 2006, it is a considerable amount that is between 227 and 250 billion euro. If we assume that over the years, the incidence of undeclared work in GDP has remained the same (ie, between 15.3 percent and 16.8 per cent) you can update this estimate. Following this logic, in 2009 the economy should be between 232 and 256 billion euro. Using these data it is possible to identify how much of GDP refers to the economy irregular, more precisely, we can obtain two values \u200b\u200bdepending on whether you subtract from the official GDP, the share of value added undeclared maximum or minimum. The income tax, are obviously against the formal economy, while attività irregolari sfuggono per definizione al prelievo. Quindi, al fine di avere una maggiore percezione del sacrificio a carico dei soggetti economici, può essere utile ricalcolare la pressione fiscale ponendo in rapporto le entrate fiscali con il Pil diminuito di quella parte relativa al sommerso. Il risultato di questo esercizio evidenzia lo sforzo reale richiesto ai contribuenti “onesti”. Inoltre, se si ricalcolano le teoriche entrate fiscali che si avrebbero applicando la pressione fiscale ufficiale (43,2 per cento per il 2009) alla quota di Pil imputabile alle attività regolari e la si sottrae alle entrate effettive, si comprende a quanto ammonta anche in valore assoluto l’entità dello sforzo richiesto ai contribuenti onesti.
