«Wind farm in Maracalagonis compatible with the territory»: the copy and paste says so
The project documents for 17 huge shovels reassure the population of the benefits. But the analyzes are partly identical to the proposal for a plant in Puglia. The technicians: «Low impact on the skyline»

Sardinia will only benefit from the construction of a huge wind farm in the countryside and on the Maracalagonis mountains. The copy paste says so.
The deluge of requests for authorizations to plant shovels on the island is so intense that the technicians appointed by the various companies (often different names for the same subjects), for the preparation of the projects, resort to standard formulas to reassure the population of the positive effects of the shovels. Thus in the documents just filed with the Ministry of the Environment by Ecowind 6 Srl we read that «the area identified for the intervention is located in the countryside of the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani, in the municipal territory of Andria where there is no presence of any natural, semi-natural or naturalistic habitat affected by the location of wind turbines".
A brief research reveals that all the conclusions of the environmental impact study for the Maracalagonis and Sinnai proposal are identical to those that another engineer had used for the route requested for another project, that of Q-Energy Renewables 2 Srl: always shovels , but in Canosa di Puglia and Andria. Tavoliere or the province of Cagliari, it seems, are identical contexts. One is as good as the other, as long as there is wind.
Another small detail: Ecowind 6 Srl is the sister company of Ecowind 2. Almost homonymous, it has the same address: the latter wants to place the 14 towers in the same area, between Sette Fratelli and Baccu Mandara. A project already widely contested.
The latest proposal instead concerns "17 wind turbines, each of 7.2 MW to be installed in the municipalities of Sinnai and Maracalagonis with connection works falling within the same municipalities and in the municipalities of Quartucciu, Settimo San Pietro and Selargius". The affected area is huge and goes from the outskirts of Maracalagonis to Tasonis. The height is almost 200 metres. But there is another reassurance on the cards: "It can be stated that the wind farm as a whole does not have a high visual impact on the skyline." In short: almost invisible blades, says the proposing company.
