How To Replace A Tripod Head

Basta Turbo nel Molise!

offers interesting ideas for "thinking" of energy

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).
