Abruzzo
not want to become a well (oil) bottomless
A plan is to install air extraction on 50% of the land: agriculture and tourism at risk

Hills Montepulciano Doc
I hope you want to talk about all the Abruzzo region as to save. In fact, Eni is preparing to transform our region into a mega oil field, making 50% of the territory in the area for the extraction of oil, including the hills of Montepulciano Doc, the Majella National Park, and that of Lazio and Abruzzo. For two years I'm trying to raise awareness of Abruzzo - politicians, people, young people and the Catholic church on this serious problem, with the national press seems to be mummified. Basilicata, where you drill for 15 years, died, and I wish that for once we were in Italy estimates and stopping environmental degradation before you start counting the dead. In Basilicata you can.

Abruzzo oil is of poor quality. It 's a highly corrosive and thick mud. The API index is 12. The world's best oil is to Texas to index 40. The worst are the sands of Canada

with index 8. Thus, the oil just a bit better than the Abruzzi oil sands of Alberta. The idea is to transform Eni 15 hectares of land in Montepulciano doc to Ortona in an oil refinery desulphurisation created just for the crap subsoil Abruzzo. This center is located 500 meters from the sea. It talks about building two more in the plain of Navenby and Teramo. The drills in the sea Pineto host the desulfurization on the platform itself. Abruzzo this year 's arrived quarto al Vinitaly di Verona per numero di medaglie sulla qualità dei vini.
Questa regione fino a 50 anni fa era povera. Ora, la possiamo rigirare come vogliamo, ma vino, agricoltura, turismo e petrolio non possono coesistere. Alcuni studi dell'università californiana Davis, con uno dei dipartimenti di agricoltura più famosi d'America, ha concluso (30 anni fa!) che le emissioni di idrogeno solforato alle stesse dosi di quelle consentite dalla legge italiana, causa la morte dei vigneti. Bucare in lungo e largo l'Abruzzo significherà quasi sicuramente compromettere tutta la nostra agricoltura.

Il rapporto guadagno petrolifero/perdita agricoltura è infinitamente basso. Ad Ortona, oil will bring 30 jobs (Eni said the same) compared to 5000 families in various towns around the proposed refinery employed in agriculture who will lose their livelihood, to say nothing of the tourism and fishing of the place. Oil is a resource for Abruzzo Abruzzo, but for Eni. There is a common petrolizzato "in Italy where you live well with oil: explosions in Trecate, petrolfiere sunken in Genoa, deformed babies in Gela, tumors outside all limits in Falconara, pollution to the stars at Melissa, Priolo, Augusta, Cremona, Falconara, Mantova, Sannazzaro Sarroch, Marghera, Manfredonia. also famous for the royalties, we do worthwhile. In Norway between governmental and local taxes, you must leave 80% of the proceeds to the Norwegians. In Italy, government fees are 30% and then to remain Abruzzesi 1% of the wealth extracted. But if the extract below a certain limit, you pay zero insight. Who controls the oil extracted is the same stripper! For the oil companies want to give away 50% of the territory, including part of the national parks and the coast. Living in those territories, 80% of the people of Abruzzo. A survey done by the central government show that 75% of Abruzzi is contrary to the augers. The earth is but Eni of Abruzzo. Thanks to other works already carried out (including the central gas turbine Gissing), Abruzzo already produces more energy to what he needs. The oil can not coexist with the Abruzzo region we know today.

environmental and economic assessments (by WWF) - An oasis of beauty in the concrete that covers most of the Abruzzo coast with unique botanical, geological, wildlife and history, is unfolding in the coastal stretch that runs from Ortona in San Salvo. A succession of cliffs, coves, sandy and pebble beaches, interrupted by the famous "overflow", the skeletons of wood magically suspended between the earth and the sea to fishermen unfamiliar with the waves. Behind coastal hills of Montepulciano which yields the fine wine, product worthy of a place once called "the golden land", for the abundance of water, the fertility of the countryside and beautiful scenery. This strip of coast, thanks to miraculously survived by a disused railway line, now discontinued-is disappearing at breakneck speed under the ignorance of most of our municipal administrators, regional and national government, despite some initial efforts and important safeguards. E 'in 2001 that began the process of establishing the Park Costa Teatina ever undertaken by any regional government that has succeeded. In 2007 alone, four small reserves are established in regional a system of protected areas, which however can not stop the speculation. Today the coast could also derived hydrocarbons: constant increase of oil drilling at sea and on land, under the Three-Year Plan of the Ministry of Energy Production, the impending creation of a Center Oil (refinery), temporarily suspended due to the tenacious Opposition groups and committees of citizens, the prospect of a port (Ortona) for the oil industry. This is not enough rivers in dire conditions, overbuilding that advances relentlessly, smothered beaches and bathing establishments that phagocytize the residual dune habitat, the future of this very special dye bleak stretch of coast.
