The war has upset the global, European, Italian and Sardinian energy scenario. Today the island can play a leading role - as yesterday's pages of L'Unione Sarda tell - without exceptional efforts, given that the foundations for the "transition" are already there: the first is Galsi, the opera ( it can be concluded in 24 months) that would give Sardinia a backbone capable of distributing 1 to 2 billion cubic meters of methane per year, and one day it would allow the flow of green hydrogen. The second concerns coal: we have the only deposit in Italy (the Carbosulcis Nuraxi Figus mine) and two of the seven Italian fossil fuel power plants, Portoscuso and Fiume Santo. Third point: renewables, provided they serve the Sardinians (current production is already overabundant) and are not just a rape for our land and our sea.

The near future

What will happen now? Will there be the green light for a truly strategic infrastructure in the near future of supplying the island? Will we look at the care of the environment and the landscape, at fair rates for all Sardinians, at renewables functional to our consumption and not those of others, at jobs in areas already tormented by endless crises? The fact is that this Dpcm, which has been talked about for some time, which, despite the insistence on the signature which arrived again in the last few hours from the trade unions and Confindustria, is also opposed by various local administrators. Not only that: with Russia's war in Ukraine, it is urgent to implement plans that free us from dependence on Moscow, and even the premier acknowledged that "the reopening of coal plants may be necessary". So that invasive decree - as highlighted in the map alongside published yesterday in support of our Group's battle for "The Sardinian family home" - not only brings Sardinia back "to the time when it was a colony", as the mayor of Porto Torres Massimo Mulas, is also largely outdated.

The Board

And the Region is moving in this direction. "I will ask Draghi that he does not push the decree forward and that the energy choices are not lowered from above, but I will involve trade unions, universities and the other social partners to get out of an approach that has renounced the energy autonomy of Sardinia, in fact, transforming it into a large consumer market ». Thus the president of the Region Christian Solinas in recent days. Then, the governor wrote to the Minister of Economic Development Giancarlo Giorgetti - "I ask you to reopen the discussion on the Sardinian energy system" - while the councilor for Industry Anita Pili pressed with the head of the ecological transition Roberto Cingolani - "that the decree does not satisfy us, and an agreement is required on the final version, with a view to the most loyal collaboration between institutions ”.
