The municipal council of Posada unanimously rejected the proposal of the Tibula Energia company for a project for a floating marine wind farm that would reach Golfo Aranci from the coast of Posada.
The majority and opposition councilors voted compactly on the agenda presented by the mayor Salvatore Ruiu against the project that "will not bring benefits to our municipality but only a devastating environmental impact for our first economic activity which is tourism".
The park provides for the presence of 62 floating wind turbines , positioned at a distance from the coast that varies from a minimum of 25 to a maximum of 40 km.
"The City Council is opposed to the project of a wind farm at sea in front of our coasts, already included and protected by the Tepilora Regional Natural Park, by the MaB Unesco Tepilora Biosphere Reserve, Rio Posada and Montalbo and by the Area recognized by the convention of Ramsar dedicated to our wetlands - said the mayor at the end of the session -. In addition to not sharing the idea of the project, I notice that on the part of the proposing company there was a profound incorrectness in the communication phases , which arrived by post electronics in the municipal offices only two days ago, however information already in the possession of the press ".
"If these are the conditions with which we would like to start a confrontation - continued the mayor - we certainly started badly. We will assert our reasons in all the dedicated offices, involving our fellow citizens above all".
"You can't drop a project from above - the councilor Giorgio Fresu (Posada per il Bene comune) echoes him from the opposition benches - we already pay a very high price on our island occupied by 60% of the military easements in Italy and we cannot think now of becoming the national energy park. I take the position of the deputy minister of Mise Alessandra Todde, who remarked that it is wrong to lower a project of this type from above and that first it is necessary to speak with the Region and with the territory ".
