There's nothing to do. The geothermal power plant in Montenero d'Orcia in Castel del Piano near Grosseto suffers the stoppage of the Environment Commission of the Region. The exploitation of geothermal energy in Tuscany, which has the primacy, remains a puzzle. Political, energy, environmental. Pd, Cinquestelle and other left-wing formations have denied the agreement with the government to exploit new energy from underground. And to think that geothermal energy is part of the Conte bis plan even if for now it has no state economic support. For the Pd group leader Leonardo Marras, a leading exponent of Zingaretti's party, the rejection is the answer to the requests of the territory. The committees are not on the same line as Governor Rossi. The Giunta will now have to decide on the negative opinion of the authorization and then the ball will return to the Ministry of Economic Development.
The responsibility for the project lies with the government committed to putting order in the exploitation of a natural and strategic source. On the other hand it is about also understand the fate of the investments of the electricity user companies, tired of being seen as enemies of the environment and public health. In the Region there is an emphasis on environmental and labor protection, controls, technological capacity, more stringent requirements for concessionaires. Two, three orientations and a cloying discussion between parties, trade unions, associations all with an environmental and eco-sustainable soul.
In Rome, the Fer 2 decree for new incentives for renewables is in the pipeline. The President of Tuscany Enrico Rossi is sure that the measure expected in February will support "his" geothermal energy. Rossi claims the supremacy of territory with the greatest installed power in Central Italy. He leads a political battle to demonstrate what can be done in the territories, just when the government's green deal is far from producing results. Certainly we need to support geothermal energy by improving environmental performance. Rossi has announced its intention to transform Cosvig, the consortium that manages field activities, into a development agency and then also a provision that declares the territory a "geothermal district". What does the Democratic Party think? Possible new regional funding does not remain outside the controversy, in addition to those that will enter the Fer 2. When we talk about the distance between Florence and Rome.
