Nothing has changed. Today as 671 years ago. The landing then took place as an ambush in the Bay of Porto Conte, north of Alghero. The invasion, markedly Spanish, was planned in Barcelona and deployed without hesitation in the northwestern enclave of the island of Sardinia. The objective was clear: the "capture" of the great Nurra plain. It was led by Bernardo de Cabrera, a Catalan admiral. The royal registers of the time immortalize the date: 27 July 1353. The mission is without appeal: the conquest of the immense expanse of land, first lakeside and then agricultural, from Porto Torres to Alghero, passing through Sassari. A story of mines, salt pans and malaria, the latter being the only one capable of defeating the invader. Today, as then, history repeats itself. More sophisticated, more "green" as the benefactors of business in Sardinia would say. This time too the route does not change, from the heart of Barcelona to that of the most authentic Nurra.
Admiral Grange
The "Admiral" of the modern landing on Sardinian land is once again a true Hispanic: a young boy born forty-three years ago in Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, the most independent one. His name says it all: Grange Sabatè Joatham John. By profession he is the sole director of «Palmadula Solar Srl», a newly established company, active since June 1st 2022, with a “fully paid” share capital of just ten thousand euros. In reality, however, this lord of medieval memory, in life, excavated land and placed photovoltaic panels around the world, from Spain to Brazil, from Chile to Italy. In his tax register he is the CEO of "Enerside Energy", a sort of Spanish multinational dedicated to the "colonization" of land at the service of the mega deal of energy nicknamed renewable.
Solar-dollar
The Spaniard's "pedigree", however, has a precedent that explains his animus operandi : «he gained his experience in the Corporate Banking sector». Nothing to do with green energy, but rather business, solar dollars and public incentives at full throttle. It is not known whether or not this new invader was inspired by the nefarious Spanish invasion of Sardinia, but what is certain is that little changes in the approach, methods and grandeur of the planned invasion. For the landing on the Holy River, at the dawn of 2024, it leaves out Porto Conte and instead relies on the more tested "bureaucratic port" used in recent years by the marching columns of air slicers and "solar-men" to invade Sardinia with blows of wind forests and infinite expanses of silicon mirrors: the Ministry of Energy Security and only nominally of the environment. The plan is classified, armored in a consolidated formula in the department of shovels and panels: administrative verification. What is certain is that the Catalan memory project was deposited in the pre-Christmas silence of last December 12th in the endless protocol of the projects to be "accelerated" through the environmental assessment procedures linked to the Pnrr. The few elements that have leaked are those of an unprecedented invasion of the Nurra Plain, between Sassari and its historic hamlets, epicenter in Palmadula, with a figure that places the silicon expanse planned for the north-west of the island among the largest in the world, among the very first in Europe and certainly the most devastating in Italy. From the intricacies of the ministry they confirm the data: agri-voltaic system with a power of 358 megawatts. In practice, more than triple the largest Italian plant built to date, that of Troia, near Foggia, 150 hectares, with 275 thousand latest generation modules and 103 megawatts of power. What the gentlemen who came from Barcelona think of creating in the agricultural-nuragic enclave of Nurra falls entirely within the territory of the Municipality of Sassari, with the area limited between the hamlets of Palmadula, La Corte, Canaglia, Li Piani, San Giorgio, Scala Erre.
