Renewables, Todde begins tour of suitable areas but the no front is increasingly compact

This morning the stop in Sassari, in the afternoon the meeting in Olbia. Tomorrow it will be the turn of Oristano. Here is the agenda of Alessandra Todde who today began meeting the mayors to try to agree on the Plan of suitable areas. In other words, the document that will indicate the portions of Sardinia where the 6.2 gigawatts foreseen by the Pichetto Fratin decree and accepted in June by the president will be installed. The governor spoke of a "beautiful discussion", but the "no" front continues to mark time.

"For us," says Roberto Ragnedda, mayor of Arzachena, "the Plan remains unacceptable. Our territory has a tourist vocation that is difficult to reconcile with wind turbines and panels." Less than three months ago, the Gallura administration also unanimously voted on an order of the day that commits "the Council to close to any hypothesis of energy speculation," clarifies the president of the city council, Mario Russu.

In Gallura there are many differences and nuances, starting with Buddusò who at the beginning of the 2000s gave the green light to the first wind farms on the Island and does not close the door to new plants. But there is a hard core of administrations that like Arzachena do not want to know about suitable areas.

An anti-speculation line from Sant'Antonio di Gallura reaches Santa Teresa and La Maddalena, passing through Telti.

Olbia and Golfo Aranci have a different position, being willing to accept only off-shore installations, "provided that there are no impacting works on land".

On the Sassarese front, Sennori clarifies – through councilor Michele Soggia, delegated by mayor Nicola Sassu to represent the Municipality in the meeting with the Region – the narrow space for the Pichetto Fratin decree. «We are laboriously investing in wine tourism, oil tourism and archaeotourism, we are waiting for our domus de janas, present even in the city center, to be recognized as a UNESCO heritage site. The landscape is a resource, the window from Nurra on the Gulf of Asinara cannot be outraged by the shovels».

In the note released by the Region on the sidelines of this morning's meeting in Sassari, the tone is triumphalistic, as are the reassurances. Todde, accompanied by councilors Francesco Spanedda and Emanuele Cani, says she is clear about "protecting the environment and safeguarding the landscape." But then she cannot help but admit that there will be "land consumption," even though the objective promise is to "limit it as much as possible." The heart of the protest is precisely this: the 6.2 gigawatts of the Pichetto Fratin decree risk transforming Sardinia into an energy servitude. Nothing more.
