Why Do My Brownies Turn Crumbly?

Agenda anti-nuclear region in the province di Catania


Al presidente del consiglio provinciale di Catania
Al presidente della provincia regionale di Catania


Ordine del giorno : “Contrarietà della provincia di Catania ad individuare sul proprio territorio siti idonei per l’attivazione di centrali nucleari”

Premesso che:
che nel 1987 il popolo italiano si è pronunciato per via referendaria sulla fine della produzione di energia nucleare nel nostro paese;

che nel mondo, pur essendo attive molte centrali nucleari, la percentuale di energia prodotta resta modesta (6.4 percent), expensive (compared to other sources), via depletion (due to the uranium fuel), that even after 1987 have been frequent accidents, remain intact and dangerous environmental impacts (in particular for consumption and waste water), the risks to public safety and the uncertainties about disposal of radioactive waste, some are cost increases in uranium;

in the world that other countries have closed plants and have reduced or canceled plans to build new power plants;

that Italy has not provided a coherent national energy master plan to replace fossil fuels and nuclear policies and efficiency measures for saving, renewables and effective choices for the transition;

that many regions have nevertheless adopted regional environmental and energy plans that totally disregard the possible contribution of nuclear energy and give priority provisions to encourage investment and savings in energy consumption and efficiency, renewable and efficient technologies for energy production, with systems, networks, positive initiatives already undertaken in the area;

Since:
the Italian Senate voted July 9, 2009 the bill development that marks the return of Italy to nuclear power despite a referendum popular in 1987 it had sanctioned the exclusion as a form of energy supply.

those circumstances and given the county council said:

the unavailability of the province of Catania in procedures for identifying suitable sites for the activation of nuclear .


engages the President of the Province of Catania:

1) work in institutional settings that remain valid, ruling the 1987 referendum throughout the country;

2) encourage the adoption of a national energy plan based on renewables and energy efficiency savings by developing policies sufficiently widespread in the territory.

Sympathy Quote For Loss Of Father

Il governo Berlusconi taglia 157 milioni di euro per le strade provinciali

PRESS

was held today, beginning at 11 am, at the provincial headquarters in Via S. No Orsola 30, the conference releases organized by the Communist Refoundation on "Lost € 150 million for maintenance and upgrading of roads in the province of Catania." Failla

Marcello, head of the municipal policies of the PRC Communist opened the press conference denouncing the plan for maintenance on the streets of the city and our province, announced almost a year ago by President Castiglione, may no longer be achieved.

" With the 2007 budget, the then Prodi government," said Failla, " allocated substantial resources to the intervention for the viability of the regions of Sicily and Calabria. The Province Regional Catania was asked on that occasion, to draw up a list of major repairs to be carried out, which were funded for more than 157 million euro.

Like many other funds, enough to remember the budget cuts for FAS € 4 billion to the region of Sicily and the now famous EUR 140 million that the city of Catania is waiting in vain for over a year, these resources have been diverted elsewhere by the Berlusconi government. Once again, the center-right government has shown its true face antimeridionalista then, disregarding the hopes of local communities and denying the commitments made by previous governments.

This is the sign of abandonment in which is relegated to the south of Italy, which, at a time of grave economic crisis, he sees constantly reduced the resources available and is thus left to their fate. Faced with these choices of the Berlusconi government, little do the president and the president himself Lombardo Castiglione, which make it so contributing to any cutbacks planned for the south, and then the aggravation of living conditions of the Sicilian people. "

then the word has weight Valerio Marletta, Councilor of the PRC Communist who stressed that the president Castiglione remained completely insensitive to the many demands of the opposition in the provincial council.

Da oltre un anno Rifondazione Comunista, “ ha detto Marletta”, con interrogazioni e interventi in consiglio provinciale, ha richiesto precise risposte al presidente Castiglione rispetto agli interventi necessari a garantire una viabilità degna di tale nome nella città e nella provincia di Catania.

Le opere che dovevano essere finanziate con i 157 milioni di euro previsti nella finanziaria del 2007, interessano infatti strade provinciali chiuse per frana, inagibili, senza guard-rail e muretti di protezione, ed oggi non sono più rinviabili.

Il ritardo accumulato renderà infatti più pericoloso percorrere strade molto trafficate nella nostra città e in the province, thus putting at risk the safety of citizens.

Refoundation Communist forward at the next meeting of the provincial council, scheduled for Monday, July 6, an order of the day to urge the president to Castiglione requiring urgent meeting with the national government in order to protest the cutting of 157 million € for roads and to request the 'immediate funding of the works necessary to ensure the transport in the city of Catania and its province.
