There are "suitable areas", "unsuitable areas" and, finally, "restricted and prohibited areas". The difference is substantial: misleading meanings for the first two, clearer and more codifiable definitions for the latter. The game of Sardinia's future, that of the landscape, of respect for its thousand-year history, of its environment, is all played here. Speculators and hardened wind and sun fixers are betting everything on the first group, that of "suitable areas". In this case the obstacles to devastating nature and agricultural areas, promontories and mountain peaks, are looser, almost non-existent, where the authorization times are fast and wide highways.
Trojan Horse
Their identification is the first major "Trojan horse" where powerful lobbies and political palaces are concentrating to more quickly plan the "sack" of the island. In the draft decree prepared by the Meloni Government, awaiting the green light from the Conference of Regional Presidents, it is said that the regional administrations have the task of identifying " suitable areas ". Immediately afterwards, however, in article eight of that text, they write: " at least the following types of surfaces and areas are considered "suitable" .
State impositions
In practice, the executive has already identified, and necessarily included, using the formulation " at least they are suitable ", those areas whose use would constitute a real ambush on the island. In the first case, the areas already exploited for wind and photovoltaic are included: in practice in those sites modifications , even substantial ones, are authorized for renovation, strengthening or complete reconstruction, possibly combined with storage systems that do not lead to an increase in the occupied area above to 20% ". All with an addendum : these limits do not apply to photovoltaics whose diffusion can be unlimited, except for some indications on distances from industrial areas.
The traps for the Island
In the second case, to be included "obligatorily" among the "suitable" ones, there would be " ". In this case, Sardinia, with its 451 thousand hectares of areas included among those polluted and to be reclaimed, risks being "invaded", giving an unprecedented gift to serial polluters: not only would they not carry out the remediation, but they would even be authorized to " cover” those areas with polluting photovoltaic panels or wind turbines in exchange for copious state incentives. The third group of areas to be declared "suitable", according to the text officially submitted to the State-Regions Conference, is that relating to " ".
