Wind turbines 220 meters high. Fourteen in all: they could be installed in "Bruncu de Lianu", in the territory of Maracalagonis . Above Baccu Mandara: according to the photo-simulations they could be seen from almost all the beaches on the eastern side of the Golfo degli Angeli, from Geremeas to the tower of Cala Giunco, in Villasimius.

The company Ecowind 2 Srl, based in via Manzoni in Milan, presented the request to the Ministry of the Environment. And to say no, forcefully, is the mayor of the town, Francesca Fadda, who calls the city council and the population to mobilize: «This», she says, «is not a battle, but a war for the defense of our territory» .

Although the procedure before the Ministry of the Environment (now of Ecological Transition) began in August last year, with the publication on the official platforms, the first citizen admits that until today her administration was unaware of it. And time is running out: comments can only be submitted until April 2. Tomorrow.

«Only in the current state, during the services conference phase, have we been invited to express ourselves», explains Fadda, « the controversy will certainly explode, if the Region expresses a positive opinion on the project, because neither I nor my municipal administration will remain watching decisions made by others in our own home.

«We were taken a bit by surprise», the mayor clearly says, who however announces: «We will oppose it and we will make an analysis to involve the entire city council. The hope is that the Region will be able to respond with a series of arguments against the proposed project. And issue a negative measure for the large and appalling environmental damage. There is talk of «a monstrous park, which will be rejected by our entire community. The interference of the blades, in that uncontaminated part of our territory, would be an alien intrusion impossible to mitigate».
