The PSOE mayor José Zapata said that both the energy consumption of public lighting and municipal facilities such as fuel for official vehicles, judging by the subsequent settlement of the executed budget, do nothing but grow year after year a dizzying pace.

And that, according to Zapata, plans, like smoke on the paper are supported well, but what is really needed is a commitment to energy savings beyond partisan advertising.

In this regard, the Socialist councilor says "House has no moral authority to talk about energy savings."

Proof of this is that the municipal budget for this year expected to increase 35 percent to pay the electric bill, from 8.7 million in 2010 to 13.4 in 2011, that "we have to pay all Murcia with our taxes. "

This reality-Zapata continues at odds with the statements made by Mayor House as energy savings, when "the local government makes plans only after fails, besides not provide data on what has been the power consumption of the municipality and liters of fuel in vehicles providing municipal services in recent years and much has been invested in energy savings.

And the investment?

With regard to investment, "continued the mayor of the PSOE, remember that the Consistory not leading by example when installing solar thermal panels on the roofs of changing municipal sports facilities, installation of solar photovoltaic panels in roofs of municipal buildings, installation of mechanisms for energy savings in street lighting, accelerate the replacement of old lamps in street lighting by others of lower power consumption that cause less light pollution, gradual replacement of municipal fleet electric vehicles and / or hybrids, among others.

All these questions shall be submitted in full by the Socialist Party with a clear goal-Zapata-points to realize, beyond advertising, energy efficiency in energy consumption to provide municipal services.
