Wind power, the devastation begins: the construction sites that distort the Sardinian landscape
Cyclopean load of "Chinese" panels just arrived on the slopes of Mount Arcosu in Uta, assault of shovels on Mount Linas in the Villacidro areaThe "steel arms" of the wind cranes that came from afar began to climb onto the horizon of the great mountain of the "Land of Shadows". The skyline of Villacidro has always been Monte Linas, an indelible mark of the archaic history of a "middle ground", between Campidano and Marmilla, between the Oristano area and the Cagliari area.
The one in Villacidro, the construction site of Das, the Piedmontese company landed in Sardinia, is a "spy construction site". It is, in fact, the first case study of the "moratorium law" approved on 5 July by the Regional Council. All authorized, let it be clear, for some time now, despite the many perplexities and doubts about that project. This start of work, however, is the first to have to measure itself against the legislative "consistency" of the new regional law which has established a "generic" and "indefinite" "ban on building new production and storage plants for electricity from renewable sources" . A passage still today without any concrete and objective confirmation: what is blocking that law? What are the “banned” works? The law not only doesn't say, but it doesn't even limit the timing of those bans.
To date, on that construction site, out of 50 pieces of pylons, only one has been erected, as demonstrated by the aerial images we are publishing. A single "piece" that already reaches the horizon of Monte Linas, but it is an impact that has not yet reached the "irreversibility" of the overall intervention.
If on the front of Monte Linas there are still all the shovels to be raised, on the front of Monte Arcosu, in front of the Cervo Oasis, the disfigurement is announced in grand style, marked by a million-dollar "load" of Chinese "panels" that has just landed on those once agricultural plains.
