They wanted to pass breathlessly, anonymously and unnoticed. Classified practices, parasocial agreements closed to most, corporate meanders worthy of an international tangle that would make the “volcano” of papers of the famous “Paradise paper” envious. Unknown and illegible names, hidden by distant languages and Hebrew characters, almost as if a new “strip” of business and power, money and interests from a thousand and one nights were being delimited on the slopes of the Seven Brothers. The crossroads of this business on Sardinian soil is taking place between the banks of the Thames and ancient Judea, between number 137 Brent Street, in the Churchill House in London and number one in the Menivim Tower, in HaTahana Street, in the financial heart of Kfar Saba, an economic center a stone's throw from Tel Aviv, the capital of Israel.

From Tel Aviv to Poetto

Leading the invasion-landing on Sardinian soil is Shapira Yoav, born in 1969, an Israeli from Tel Aviv, registered in the documents as the sole director of two “alphanumeric” companies, “Ecowind 2” & “Ecowind 6”. A sort of financial babel erected on a multitasking corporate castle, with a perennial nominalistic reference to Sardinia, almost as if the objective of the takeover had geographical coordinates already marked out for some time. From the desert beaches to the proscenium of Poetto, in the capital of Sardinia. In the Israeli documents, however, Shapira Yoav is registered as “Managing Partner at Econergy Renewable Energy, a photovoltaic development and investment company”.

Sent to Sardinian land

In short, a special envoy, all “Israeli”, on Sardinian soil. For him, the leap from the sun to the wind is sudden, like going from the “Sharon Region”, in the central district of Israel, the operational headquarters of the multinational with the effigy of the Star of David, to the Island of Sardinia, from the eastern Mediterranean to the western one. A climb marked by high-sounding aims, in search of the primordial wind, the one capable of making the slot machines of the Jewish State turn at full speed. The company pulling the strings of this operation is, therefore, Econergy Renewable Energy, the group that came from ancient Judea to turn the blades on the stage of the Gulf of Angels. In one fell swoop, two different games, but ultimately converging.

Seven Brothers and Geremeas

The projects presented are a sort of duplicate, one more invasive than the other, all aimed at towering over the mountain amphitheatre that surrounds the metropolitan area of Cagliari, a full-blown assault, from Sinnai to Maracalagonis, until it “breaks through” the border of the seaside hamlets of Torre delle Stelle and Geremeas. In both projects, however, it is always the man from the “land of Sharon” who commands: administrator everywhere, even though in the first project, the most coastal one, the corporate structure, «Ecowind 2 srl», is “shared” 50% with an English company, also locked away in the vault of the Anglo-Saxon “Ltd”, a Private Limited Company with a high-sounding name: Queequeg Enterprise Ltd. The first Israeli landing, hidden until today among the intricacies of limited liability companies with ten thousand euros of capital, is entirely projected to devastate the proscenium of the area upstream of the marine hamlets of Torre delle Stelle and Geremeas, on the border of Maracalagonis. A slap in the face without appeal to the entire Golfo degli Angeli. The visibility algorithms of that project leave one speechless. Those 14 blades, 200 meters high, could be seen from every corner of Cagliari, from Poetto to Sella del Diavolo, from Geremeas to Villasimius, from Cala Giunco to Torre delle Stelle. The project itself describes the indelible scar: «the presence of the Sette Fratelli massif, delimited by the PPR as a regional natural park and the proximity to the SIC area of the same name, place the land destined to accommodate the plant in an area characterized by strong environmental and landscape values. Eleven out of fourteen wind turbines are located in areas classified as natural and subnatural and characterized by the presence of woods and Mediterranean scrub vegetation. The areas surrounding the site also host important areas of environmental, naturalistic and faunal value; between 4 and 6 km you touch the perimeters of the Marine Protected Area of Capo Carbonara, Serpentara and Isola dei Cavoli, and of the historical production areas of the reclamation of Castiadas». In other words: we know it, but we don't really care.

A disgrace to the “mountain” countries

The second project, also signed by the “Star of David”, with entirely Israeli capital, is between Sinnai and Maracalagonis. A real environmental and urban outrage, given that in this case the wind turbines, the largest available on the market, those with 7.2 megawatts each, will come into direct contact with the urban fabric of the “mountain” towns of the metropolitan area. They write it themselves, without fear of contradiction, indicating the distances from the inhabited centers: the turbines will be stuck «in an area located to the North, North-East of the urban center of Maracalagonis at a distance of about 725 m as the crow flies, to the east of the urban center of Sinnai at a distance of about 1.3 km, to the east of Settimo San Pietro at a distance of about 3.7 km as the crow flies, and to the southeast of the urban center of Soleminis, at a distance of about 4.4 km».

From the coast to the hinterland

Even in this case, almost as if to mock the absolute value of the landscape, they describe the context that they will devastate: «The unifying environmental element of the Landscape Area is represented by the eastern coastal arc of the Gulf of Cagliari, which extends from the Margine Rosso to Capo di Carbonara and from there to Punta Porceddus of Villasimius, including the two smaller islands of Serpentara and Cavoli. The environmental structure is characterized by the imposing mountainous hinterland of the granite massif of Serpeddì – Sette Fratelli, which with its southern offshoots extends to the coastal strip». They will not even care about the archaeological assets: «In the areas at significant archaeological risk, it is planned to intervene and adopt all the necessary measures agreed with the Superintendency». Ignoring that all the Superintendencies have rejected without appeal that umpteenth outrageous project.

It's not a joke

The last note seems like a joke, but it is not: «The type of blade chosen includes soft colors that fully integrate into the landscape, avoiding obvious dissonances and elements that could cause landscape disorder». Even the Israeli wind people know no limits to decency: they mistook Sardinia for a desert “strip” to be razed to the ground with wind turbines and million-dollar deals.
