Corre Italy renewables. Gianni Silvestrini's opinion on Ecoradio
(Article Kyoto Club)
While in Italy are rapidly renewable important and our country enters the world leader in the industry, the government nuclear tip about the adventure that threatens to distract resources and intelligence the new green technologies. The intervention of weekly Ecoradio Gianni Silvestrini, scientific director of the Kyoto Club and QualEnergia.
Gianni Silvestrini, in his speech to Ecoradio week, showed how, in spite of many economic indicators that show an Italy in decline, you may see quite a few years to a renewable energy market continues to grow, driven by incentives undertaken in previous years.
Overall, new renewables (solar, wind, biomass) in 2009 showed an increase of about 15% compared to 2008. With regard to the installed power
Italy probably will settle in 3rd place in the world in photovoltaic (about 1000 MW cumulative end 2009) and 6th in the field of wind energy (over 1,100 MW in 2009 alone).
Italy So he started to run along the side of the installations, but also with regard to its weak point, that of domestic production of technology, there are interesting signs. New industries are springing up all over Italy and this could help to meet a growing domestic demand, but also to think, in the near future, exports of these technologies.
Faced with this scenario is positive, however, attempt to restart nuclear power in our country, a process already fraught with obstacles and problems of various kinds.
should instead commit incentives, investment in research and minds of the country to make Italy an advanced pole on new frontiers of energy, namely renewable sources and energy efficiency. Nuclear power will only distract from these goals, and today - says Silvestrini - can be even more strongly believe that a short-sighted choice.
