As if they wanted to drive oil wells in the middle of the atolls of the Maldives or in the crystal clear waters of the Seychelles Island. Devastating the Costa Smeralda with hundreds of gigantic wind turbines to be placed in the middle of the turquoise sea is like exchanging the paradise of Sardinia with the narrowest industrial coast of the northern European seas. Yet the assault is violent, coordinated and at a high level. It does not matter if we are talking about one of the most celebrated places by the world jet set, one of the most impressive environmental tourist business cards on the island. This morning the Olbia Harbor Master's Office will open the casket on the latest assault announced yesterday by our investigation into the wind invasion of the Costa Smeralda.
The assault on Porto Cervo
Papers still classified, for a project of which, however, we have already anticipated the essential data, starting with those 210 wind turbines to be placed in the sea in front of Loiri Porto San Paolo, Olbia, Golfo Aranci, Arzachena, Palau and La Maddalena. A number of wind turbines that is unprecedented in the projects presented both in Italy and in Europe, all this to mean that these gentlemen are only interested in the gusts of mistral recorded by the wind atlas which marks that area as one of the most prolific. If you add up the two projects, that of “Tibula Energia”, from Siniscola to Posada, passing through Budoni, up to Olbia, with that of Zeffiro Wind, in the heart of the Costa Smeralda, the wind turbines touch the threshold of three hundred blades. For now, the abacus stops at 275 blades of almost three hundred meters in height each, like a 90-story skyscraper.
The wind of Garibaldi
The siege, however, would not be over: according to authoritative sources at the Olbia Harbor Master's Office, yet another wind invasion project was presented in the last few hours. The details of this new assault are still fragmentary, but it is known that this time it would revolve around the island of Caprera. For the lords of the wind I lack a minimum of respect for the Hero of the Two Worlds, that Giuseppe Garibaldi who chose that hermitage of peace as his final resting place. To advance the new checkmate on the Sardinian sea would be a company we already dealt with two years ago: the “Nurex Wind Power”. The sharecropping partners are said to be two other companies, "Nicetechnology Srl" and "7 Seas Wind Power Srl", two satellites that revolve around Giuseppe Gino Carnevale who claims to be the "first" tamer of the wind in the sea. The capital paid is from the coconut kiosk on the beach: 5 thousand euros for each of the two shareholders. In reality, however, Carnival is considered to all intents and purposes the most active interceptor of wind business. Behind him, obviously, there are companies ready to enter the field if these ambushes in the Sardinian sea have a minimum glimmer of materialization.
