Italy Cinderella of renewable

do not need to take the side of environmentalists and skeptics to realize that the energy future of our planet is in finding affordable physical and chemical devices to harness the sun. The data show that to cope with the current global energy consumption (370 EJ in 2000) would be enough to cover about 0.1% of the earth's surface with some devices capable of transforming, with 10% efficiency, light and heat the sun's energy in . Today the Italian
surface equipped with solar panels for water heating home is 20 times lower than that of the cold Germany and 13 times lower than in Greece. In Italy in 2001 was only 7% of installed PV capacity in the EU. The delay of Italy is not just about energy solar, but in general the use of renewable resources.
In Europe, the installed wind power capacity is 40,000 MW. In Italy there is an installed capacity of 870 MW, which provides only 0.4% of national production of energy. Until now, the production of electricity grew by installing wind turbines planted on the ground ( onshore), but in recent years, wind technology has evolved dramatically mainly due to the contribution of Japanese scientists who have installed cylindrical structures, like towers and several kilometers high, anchored a few meters above the sea (offshore ) able to take advantage of the updrafts of warm air tropical areas. Why in Italy
news on nuclear energy and coal are taken, and not on renewable energy innovations are taking hold?
There would be a multiplicity of causes at stake, it is clear, however, the disproportion between the overbearing use of energy and the knowledge of it. In view of the great advantages is acknowledged that renewable energies are also disadvantages that make them today not entirely expensive than "low" price of fuel. That's why the articles were constructed incentive systems through asking the SMEs to become energy producers and not just mere consumers.
The Ministry of Environment issued the notice (published in Official Gazette No. 12 of January 16, 2007) for the promotion of renewable sources for electricity production and / or heat with which it grants to support SMEs through Mediocredito. For companies that submit their applications from next February 26 will be awarded a maximum capital contribution of 50-55% for new photovoltaic systems and 30% for wind, solar thermal and biomass.
The Ministry of Economic Development has developed in recent days the new 2007 energy bill which provides for ten years to reach 3,000 MW of installed power plants favoring those more integrated into the outer surfaces of the civil and industrial buildings. The tariffs paid for the next 20 years as a whole increased by 10% compared to those given in previous energy bill, ranging from a minimum of 0.36 euro per KWh produced by non-integrated systems with a power greater than a 20 kWp maximum of € 0.490 per kWh for systems integrated with a power between 1 and 3 kWp. Applications are made on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31.
