The study will count on the direction of the university professors of the University of Alicante Gloria Pardo and Martin Seville, and will serve to identify the weaknesses and potentialities of the province until year 2020. In addition, thirty specialists will approach, by means of monographs, the complexity of the present economic situation. These analyses will be resisted by the industralists and the cameras, and once finished they will be integrated by the Valencian Institute of Economic Investigations in the strategic plan for Alicante that elaborates the Valencian Catalan Autonomous Government. Alicante, June of the 2008. – Directive Soft (www.directivesoft.com) and the Digital Factory of the University of Alicante (www.eltallerdigital.com), in a joint work to impel specific initiatives of focused formation and quality to the development of projects of technological innovation, offers to the accomplishment of a Sectorial Technological Diagnosis for the companies located in the INDUSTRIAL PARK OF ELCHE. The technological diagnosis is a study that it reflects the present reality of the companies in different productive sectors. That is to say, a report that it details how the companies studied with respect to their productive, commercial, organizational management are from the technological point of view, of design, human resources, etc., and how they are related to the partner-productive surroundings in which they are located.

The final result will be incorporated as one more a monograph to the Alicante study Horizon 2020; in addition a titled digital edition will be realised Which is the present situation, that will be presented/displayed in an act I publish free of charge in the Park Enterprise of Elche and distributed to all the companies and participant organisms. As last objective is tried that the study is not only in an analysis of the moment, but it is the departure point to establish the attachment lines that allow to improve that reality in the short, half and long term, agreed between all the participants and considering all the economic aid that in this matter is a disposition on the part of the local, autonomic and national organizations. Therefore, the active participation in this study is asked for to them. For it, simply they will have to take care of a call telephone of a person who will do a simple survey to them and that will not suppose to him more than minutes. They prefer if it, also they will be able to compliment this survey of form online, entering the Web site and following the instructions that will receive by electronic mail.

A careful analysis realised by Vasilis Fthenakis of the National Laboratory of Brookhaven long-distance indicates that within 10 years, the costs of the photovoltaic one could be placed near 10/kWh, including the transmission and the cost of storage of the compressed air to be able to use it at night. Also, the analysis of the estimations of systems of paving thermoelectrial with sufficient thermal storage to generate electricity 24 hours to the day in the spring, summer and autumn, indicates that 10 could be offered electricity to /kWh or less in this date. The transport in a World-wide WWS will be determined by the batteries or fuel batteries, reason why we must compare the economy of these electrical vehicles with the one of vehicles of motor of internal combustion. Detailed analyses done by one of us (Delucchi) and Tim Lipman of the University of California, Berkeley, indicated that the production in mass of electrical vehicles with forward batteries of lithium ions or the batteries of nickel metal-hidruro, could have a cost by mile or km throughout their life (including the battery replacements), comparable to the one of the gasoline vehicle, when the gasoline is sold to more than 2 dollars by gallon. When the calls consider external costs (the monetary value of damages to the human health, the environment and the climate) of fossil fuels in the transport, technologies WWS are still more competitive. The cost of general construction of a system WWS could anywhere in the world be of the order of 100 trillions of dollars, in about 20 years, not being including the transmission costs.

But this is not money distributed between all the governments or the consumers. In addition this investment collects a traverse of the sale of electricity and energy. And once again it is necessary to remember that, if we depend on the traditional sources, it would suppose to happen of 11.5 to 16.9 TW, which would require thousand more of those plants, with a cost of approximately 10 trillions of dollars, without mentioning the tens of trillions of dollars more in health, environment and security. Plan WWS gives to the world a new, clean and efficient system of old, dirty energy instead of and an inefficient one.
