Wind power, a firm "no" to speculation from the island
From Cagliari to Oristano, common front to defend Sardinia: «We need an urban planning law»Gli interventi al Forum dell'Unione Sarda
A common front , which crosses Sardinia , to protect the island from the wind attack and reject energy speculation .
And a unanimous chorus of opposing voices arose yesterday in Oristano, in a discussion organized by the Lucio Abis association , and in Cagliari in the event staged at L'Unione Sarda between mayors, entrepreneurs, popular committee and the Church with focus on offshore wind farm in Sulcis and the nine projects for a total of 363 blades in the sea in front of Carloforte and Portoscuso which would directly influence fishing, tourism and the landscape of unique territories of community importance.
In Oristano there was the scientific committee for Insularity in the Constitution, with the president Maria Antonietta Mongiu, Giuseppe Pulina, Rita Dedola, Gian Valerio Sanna, Giuseppe Biggio, Benedetto Ballero . And the editor of the L'Unione Sarda group, Sergio Zuncheddu , spoke. In the speeches, severe emphasis was placed on the Council's bill being examined by the Regional Council, considered «largely insufficient in the face of the invasion of gigantic shovels that could compromise the Sardinian landscape». With the editor Zuncheddu who, regarding the constraints on the territory, reiterated that the Region knows «well what it has to do, there is 98.8% of the territory covered by constraints of different types, archaeological, monumental, landscape, linked to civic uses ». And with "the best solution" to be pursued is "an urban planning rule that arises from the powers that are recognized in Sardinia on the basis of the Statute ".
In the debate at L'Unione Sarda, however, the interventions of Stefano Rombi and Ignazio Atzori, mayors of Carloforte and Portoscuso, the parish priest of Portoscuso and responsible for the social pastoral care and work of the Diocese of Iglesias, Don Antonio Mura, Susanna Lavazza spokesperson of the “No energy speculation Carloforte” committee and the representatives of the Carloforte traps, Pier Greco, and Portoscuso, Andrea Farris .
Among the major concerns highlighted are those for a wind attack that could decree the end of bluefin tuna fishing with fixed traps , the almost absent discussions with the multinationals involved in the projects, the damage to the landscape with shovels that would be visible from Nebida and Carloforte , "an eyesore for which they would like to get away with a few pennies", and then the urgency of an effective intervention by the region starting from the "competences assigned by the Statute", the importance of an alliance between institutions, populations and businesses, the stop at the Portoscuso substation and the option of a consultative referendum, "a great opportunity" and a contribution "for an aware democracy".
