Roberto Cingolani, the physicist on loan to the Ministry of Ecological Transition, hides the papers, but the product does not change. The first draft of the Sardinia decree, anticipated by our newspaper in recent weeks, had written on paper the wind and solar invasion in the ridges and plains of the island. The goal was clear: to transform Sardinia into a real energy colony to be occupied with megawatts to put at the service of the "cable-leash" conceived and conceived by Terna to take away the energy of the sun and the wind and make Sardinia dependent on the Continent forever, canceling its energy autonomy forever.
The mugging
A cable that Terna is preparing to build by spending an avalanche of money with the sole aim of “snatching” wind and sun from Sardinia and putting it at the service of the rest of the country. In the first draft of the decree, the Government had even indicated the quantities of wind and photovoltaics to be installed between Barbagia and Campidano. Frightening quantities: 2,600 megawatts of wind energy, going from the current 1,500 to a total of 4,100, and 2,200 megawatts of photovoltaic panels more, going over 3,200 in all. In the midst of the projects of Cingolani & company, however, none other than Sergio Mattarella stood in the way, for another month or so Head of State, who as a constitutional judge had been clear: the "massive" intervention of renewable energy jeopardizes "values" unavoidably protected by the Constitution itself. Values that translate into Landscape, Environment and Government of the territory, whose competence is, Constitutionally, in the hands of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia. For the wind invasion projects and the silicon esplanades it was a severe blow. It is for this reason that in the last few hours Cingolani has tried to make those numbers disappear from the table. The text of the new decree, just transmitted to the Region, of which we publish an excerpt in the photo, in fact, deletes, with apparent dexterity, all the quantities of wind and solar energy. A sort of apparent reverse, in fact, however, not very credible given that the norms mentioned aggravate the same previous text. The objective of imposing on Sardinia everything and more is written, without half measures, in Article 2 of the new text of the decree: "the creation of a new generation capacity from renewable sources is considered among the non-postponable and urgent interventions". They are those two little words, "indifferent" and "urgent", which allow us to understand not only the blatant constitutional violation that the State wants to implement towards a Region with a Special Statute, Sardinia, but also the unscrupulousness with which it wants to give " urgency ”to the insane construction of a forest of wind turbines.
Other urgencies
Perhaps it would have been more "urgent" and "non-deferrable" to bridge the gap in transport, in energy costs, in the railway and road infrastructure of the island. A decree that can be valid for the ordinary Regions, but which is waste paper for the Regions with a special statute that have exclusive competence in the "Government of the Territory" and in the "Landscape Protection". Having introduced that rule, absent in the previous draft, translates into a new slap in the face of Sardinian autonomy. For the rest, the new decree does not change. The government aims to take away the sun and the wind without leaving anything concrete on the island, with an elusive "virtual connection" that in itself allows us to understand the inconsistency of the "kind" concession. In fact, in no passage of the new text is a gas price equal to the rest of Italy established. In all the crucial passages the Government always speaks of "eventuality", never a certainty. The same industrial and urban connections with the gas "rafts" anchored on the coasts of Portoscuso and Porto Torres are deferred to posthumous evaluations: «where possible according to the cost / benefit analysis». The decree, which seems to have been written by the LNG lobbies, ends up "pleasing" only those who aim to manage the "pulp" of Sardinia, or the two metropolitan areas, completely caring about the rest of the island.
Bad checks
The new text confirms that the Energy Authority has six months to assess the "regulatory framework applicable to the infrastructures defined by the decree". It is the confirmation of a functional approach to the sack of Sardinia: postponing the definition of tariffs means knowingly preparing for deception. With this decree the State will take home the sun and the wind of the island, repaying the Region with bad checks, without any coverage, forever violating the special statute of Sardinia.
