The "no" of the Sardinian territories to the plans for the installation of wind farms presented by the multinationals object of an extraordinary session of the Regional Council.
This is the hypothesis that emerged during the last session of the assembly's “Productive Activities” Commission , with the “assault” on the island at its centre.
The face-to-face was also attended by representatives of the territorial committees who oppose the uncontrolled installation of mega-wind farms in the Sarcidano, Anglona, Meilogu, Sulcis and Marmilla regions . And everyone has come to solicit the Region to take a strong position towards the national government.
«There are dozens of projects presented in Sardinia without consulting the mayors - said the representatives of the Committees - the multinationals obtain ministerial authorizations bypassing the Municipalities. The phenomenon must be managed. The Region must oppose the assault on the territory and draw up a map of suitable sites for the production of renewable energy ».
The committees signaled various critical situations with requests for dozens of wind turbines to be installed in places of particular naturalistic value: "Only in Isili there are proposals for 100 wind turbines - said Luigi Pisci of the Sarcidano Committee - projects that rain on the heads of local communities and against which the populations can do nothing. The same happens in another hundred municipalities in Sardinia».
An emblematic case is that of Villanovaforru where the mayor Maurizio Onnis received in recent days the communication from the Ministry authorizing the installation of 4 wind turbines 220 meters high: «One of these wind turbines is planned 500 meters from the nuraghe of Genna Maria – Onnis said – the situation is out of control, nobody is giving us a hand. The Region does nothing. Strong, extraordinary action is needed to try to counter the devastation of the Sardinian territory".
