They have no scruples. After all, Americans, today more than ever, think they are the masters of the world. Imagine if the business is that of JP Morgan , the largest investment bank in the States. In the presence of Donald Trump they preferred to sprinkle their heads with ash and oil, in Sardinia, instead, with some Sardinian-style acolytes, they even try to indoctrinate young students with the "salvific" recipes of 380-meter wind turbines to be placed no less than in front of the coast between Siniscola and Olbia.
Goodbye tourism
An unprecedented project that, passing through San Teodoro and Budoni, aims at limitless environmental devastation, forever razing to the ground the tourist hopes of that exclusive stretch of coast, prohibiting fishing and navigation indefinitely in the gymkhana of steel skyscrapers to be stuck with impunity in the middle of the Sardinian sea. An offshore plant, that of the gentlemen of JP Morgan , with 65 cyclopean blades designed to be positioned right in front of the north-eastern coast of the island, all perfectly visible from land, capable of erasing the marine horizon forever, with a gigantic electrical connection station to be placed in Olbia.
One million users
A wicked plan to attack the coasts of the Island for a power of 975 megawatts, or the electrical production equivalent to the consumption of almost a million domestic users, which will never ever concern the Sardinians, who will be forced to pay for the increasingly expensive energy of others. The name of the project is still "Tibula Energia", even if the corporate structures have undergone a nominal reshuffle, maintaining, however, the structure in the hands of JP Morgan.
The landing of Nadara
Now Nadara Italy SpA has been holding the reins of the Sardinia operation for a year and a half, but the capital and intentions have remained substantially the same. Leading the climb to the Sardinian sea is Toni Volpe, who is the CEO of the new company. He is the one who in recent months has publicly become annoyed by overly restrictive regulations that would not allow him to sweep away posidonia and marine horizons for the use and consumption of the business of his shareholders, Americans and Spanish. For some time they have been going around telling, where they are allowed, the amazing employment effects of these "miraculous" wind turbines. In the latest proclamation, signed by Nadara Spa, the Americans of the wind have ventured to claim that these offshore wind turbines, among those planned in Sardinia, three projects, and those to be placed in Sicily and Puglia, would create "an employment potential of over 20 thousand direct and indirect jobs", as if the propellers wanted to turn with human legs and arms. Fantasmagorical declarations for gullible people in the format of stars and stripes and blinkers of a green facade.
Doors in the face & schools
After having been slammed in the face by Mayors and administrators, after having tried in every way to present themselves as new bearers of wind development, now the gentlemen of JP Morgan , wearing the shirt of Nadara , are attempting the path of school indoctrination, bypassing local administrations to challenge the arduous path of easy, cheap promises, without contradiction, of well-being and work for all, starting with Sardinian students. The operation of which, obviously, we have documentary evidence, has as its epicentre Siniscola, the municipality at the heart of the American bank's offshore wind project, under the name of Tibula. The Mayor of the centre of Baronia, Gianluigi Farris, who since the very beginning has not been gentle with the stars and stripes project, seems to have also rejected the latest advances of the JP Morgan envoys.
Educational school
It is at that point that the operation Liceo scientifico “M. Pira” of Siniscola would have started. The circular of the school principal, without even asking the slightest question of the fact that it is a private company, a direct emanation of an investment bank, an American one at that, « communicates that the students of classes 3^A, 3^B, 4^A, 4^B, 5^A and 5^B of the Liceo scientifico of Siniscola on February 11, 2025, from 11:30 to 13:20 will be engaged in PCTO activities ». To trace the meaning of this incomprehensible and unknown acronym, one must venture into the continuation of the communication-imposition: PCTO , or « Paths for Transversal Skills and Orientation ».
Weird orientation
One wonders what kind of orientation the Siniscola high school students should "suffer": the American-style JP Morgan one or the Italian-style one of Mister Puddu, the Sardinian Fabrizio who wriggles tirelessly between regional buildings and classrooms to explain how beautiful it is to devastate the Sardinian sea? Because, between the two JP Morgans, there is a world of difference: on the one hand, there is the American one that says stop to the "madness" of renewables and, then, there is that of Mr. Puddu who says that the future is offshore wind power, without having noticed what is happening in the world. For example: will they explain to the students of the scientific high school, regarding "Orientation", that JP Morgan declared, fifteen days ago, that it wants to leave the Net-Zero Banking Alliance , or the global climate alliance following the growing pressure of the new American government? Will they explain to the boys from Siniscola that, having taken note of the folly of offshore wind, the six largest banks of the largest economy in the world, Goldman Sachs , Wells Fargo, Citi, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley , have all left the “wind-banking” group within a month? Probably none of this will be disclosed in the “imaginative” slides of Mr. Puddu who had already performed, more than a year ago, in a brilliant exposition of the project in the town hall of Pula.
«Here, in front of you»
On that occasion the speech of the new pasdaran of the Sardinian wind had been nothing short of catastrophic. In the attempt, decidedly unsuccessful, to make it clear that the wind farm in front of Nora would not be seen, he began with a daring “epitaph”: « These parks are two in Puglia, one in Calabria and two in Sardinia. Nora one and Nora two. In short, here in front of you, substantially ». The disastrous performance ended with a sort of "expulsion" from Pula. Mayor Walter Cabasino was explicit: «Our No to this outrage is irreversible».
Wind performance
In Siniscola, however, on Tuesday morning, Mister Puddu's performance could be repeated, given the explicit management circular: « The boys, gathered in the Aula Magna, will meet the representatives of Nadara Italy SPA which designs, builds and manages, in Europe and the United States, plants from renewable energy sources (onshore and offshore wind, solar, waste-to-energy, biomass) ». What is certain is that the "blitz" by JP Morgan , with the men in Sardinian sauce, at the Liceo scientifico M. Pira in Siniscola opens a case of no small importance, with not only legal, but also significant didactic and educational profiles. First of all, the access to a public school of "advocates" of very private business, those of the big American investment banks, without even asking themselves the slightest doubt about the appropriateness of the business meeting, both because of the opposition to that operation by all the local councils, and for reasons related to the educational context, without a cross-examination, compromising the principle of critical education of the students.
Private Business in Schools
A one-way meeting, with a unilateral vision of the projects and the context, given the same contradictions of the American investment banks, first of all the one that would like to devastate the Siniscola stage towards the Costa Smeralda. A Sardinian-American style “summit” that risks openly opposing the social context in which the project wants to be placed, with a very high potential for degradation, not only for the landscape, but also for the real economy, that of tourism, fishing and the very navigability of that stretch of coast. In short, a controversial lesson on the "goodness" of the devastating Tibula & Nadara project, passed off as "Orientation", which in reality ends up clumsily sponsoring a private-business project that has nothing to do with the energy transition. In the face of the ethical and social values at the basis of public school, tomorrow, in Siniscola, the wind power propaganda of an investment bank, an American one at that, will be consumed.
