these days is ample debate on numerous projects for large solar fields to be carried out on land in agricultural areas and fertile soils, often suited to the production of value. The main concerns are the removal of agricultural land, environmental impact, in addition to the consequences soils that may result from an eventual Poor management of facilities and the necessary remediation of land that will achieve when they have reached the technical obsolescence.
It fully shares the view according to which the production of electricity from renewable sources, particularly photovoltaic technology, should be promoted because of all the many benefits it can produce and that we will not be there to remind . Nevertheless, each project must be carefully assessed in relation to the size of the facilities and areas in which they are proposed, in the light of an objective assessment of costs and benefits (including environmental) that the same can produce, taking into account the possibility of achieving them in areas where adverse effects can be minimized. It should also be noted that, even ignoring the enormous availability of roofs of buildings for which the decision to build PV systems it is obviously the owners, the installed capacity in areas already degraded, such as former industrial areas, landfills exhausted, environmental restoration of quarries etc. . etc.., it is still relevant and can most likely meet the needs of our region.
worth also point out that in most cases make the assumptions that we often hear or read the newspapers regarding the possible coexistence on the same site, growing crops with solar parks, are unfounded. One can not assume, in fact, the coexistence of plants and crops, for obvious reasons of space and processing techniques. It 'also known that the average life of these systems have more than twenty years and the facilities needed to produce them make the transformation of the soil substantially irreversible.
The use of agricultural land for the installation of plants for the production of renewable energy is desirable only if limited to the development of multifunctional farms. Appears rather worrisome pursuit of an industrial use of such productions as this direction Members would lead to the reclamation of land to food production, putting additional strain on the provincial agri-food sector.
The landscape, as well as being a collective good, it performs a social function as an element identifier for those who live there, even for Tuscany identity! All territorial marketing policies take based on this resource and there can be a project to develop the territory in the absence of a precise plan for the protection and enhancement of the landscape, more so if we refer to the agricultural landscape, the only element of naturalness . The same Regional Landscape Plan (adopted only for now) at various points highlights the urgent need to protect the rural landscape without infrastructure and the creation of works which are in conflict with the connotations of that identity, and the new government's program of our region, on this particular issue, pushing further ahead with a strong commitment towards the reduction of land consumption and the protection of rural areas . The availability of fertile land, in fact, is a non-renewable and limited resource, constantly subject to erosion (in the last 40 years, Italy has lost more than 5 million hectares of farmland!) With an extension of the building is not always rational, often disconnected from the needs of satisfying housing needs related to population growth or needs dictated by new initiatives productive.
now these reasons that push us to demand greater attention and respect to the fertile lands that still exist in the area and at the same time, a joint planning by taking into account a double requirement: the dissemination of renewable energy sources and soil protection agricultural and landscape. Allowing them to prevent and resolve conflict is a risk of political and cultural may see two opposing legitimate and fundamental needs.
