"Can you explain why an incinerator in Rome would be unacceptable, while in Sardinia it is fine?" Beppe Grillo wrote this on Facebook, posting an article on renewables and incinerators.
"Nine years of inactivity, 45 million euros of public money spent, 22 workers left without a job. And now, when the Tossilo incinerator is about to reopen, the province of Nuoro is blocking everything because there are 20 critical issues. A masterpiece", accuses the founder (repudiated by his followers) of the 5 Star Movement.
Who returns to one of his warhorses, that of the first “grillini” who no longer exist: « But really, with 45 million couldn’t many more jobs be created in separate waste collection, reuse, recycling?», Grillo asks.
Which adds another question: "Why do we keep repeating the fairy tale that without incinerators we are forced to landfill, when the European Union clearly indicates other priorities? A single wind turbine", is his thesis, "could produce the same energy as the entire Tossilo plant, without its 66,000 tons of CO2 and toxic ash to dispose of. And yet, the first act of the Todde government was not to stop the incinerator, but to block renewables". Or at least try.
