The intimidation carried out with an unexploded bomb placed in front of a shed in the Sos Enattos mine ( HERE THE NEWS ), in Lula , a site candidate to host the Einstein Telescope, the interferometer system, could be linked to interests in wind power which will allow us to study gravitational waves.
The Public Prosecutor's Office of Nuoro, with the prosecutor on duty Riccardo Belfiori, is ready to open a file, currently against unknown persons. While the carabinieri investigate at 360 degrees. There are few doubts: whoever positioned the bomb, then detonated by the bomb squad, is against the birth of the observatory for the study of gravitational waves.
One of the tracks being worked on, according to what transpires, is that of interests in wind power. The Lula mines were selected as a possible suitable site thanks to the silence of the area and the low anthropic pressure: these are fundamental characteristics, which could make them prevail over the candidate location from Holland. Low population density and development linked only to the rural world, paradoxically, could be points in favor of Sos Enattos. But silence must be absolute. Even government-licensed wind turbines could break it. And alter the characteristics of the area.
In October 2022, then Prime Minister Mario Draghi approved the construction of a large wind farm on the Gomoretta plateau, 4 kilometers from the proposed location for one of the three vertices of the Einstein Telescope triangle. Mayors in the area have protested and the National Institute of Nuclear Physics has asked the government and regional authorities for a 15-kilometre exclusion zone.
Meanwhile, in Sardinia a united front has been created to condemn the cowardly act that risks causing the loss of a billionaire investment.
