The round bales are planted on the ground. They don't move even if you push them. True plain, that of Campidano at the gates of Cagliari, once the granary of Italy. The ears here are a golden sea that sways driven by a barely whispered breeze. The break-in is not on tiptoe. The lords of the wind, those who make money at full throttle with state incentives, plucked from citizens' bills, this time aiming straight for the most luxuriant lands of the Nuraghi Island.
Wind philanthropists
The "philanthropists" appearances of the wind and the sun have given way in advance to the real assault on the most productive agricultural fields of the island. With the silence and timing of the usual summer blitzes, used by multinational wind companies, without uttering a word, they materialized plans and deals to be consumed instead of wheat and artichokes. In the same moments in which the lords of the wind relied on festive proclamations in Sardinia, the Ministry of the Environment, transformed into that of wind turbines and solar panels, was deposited a real plan for the invasion of Campidano, the quadrilateral between Samassi, Serrenti, Furtei and Sanluri. News to hide, of course. All in the dark.
Wind hourglass
To put municipalities back to the wall and beyond. It is no coincidence, in fact, that the timing of the opposition to the project is marked by an hourglass of just 30 days. The deadline has already been set: by 9 July, applications can be presented to counter those steel skyscrapers destined to forever rape the landscape and open a further gap in the logic of incentives in exchange for agricultural land in Sardinia. Obviously no public announcement, no external communication. The 66 megawatt "Samassi-Serrenti wind farm" project, with transformation station in the municipality of Sanluri, blades and ancillary works in the municipalities of Samassi, Serrenti and Furtei, had to remain secret. The only public notice is hidden, in the true sense of the word, in the worst administrative transparency site of the Draghi Government, that of the Ecological Transition. For months, the protests about denied access to that state archive have been such a rumor that even the Minister himself has had to justify himself with the improbable thesis of a Russian attack on the computer system. Opening the vault of environmental assessment data is like carrying out a robbery in Fort Knox. The "Sardinia" alarm went off last June 8, late in the evening.
