The undersecretary for the environment Claudio Barbaro had warned, "if we want to produce renewable energy, we must go towards the sun, towards the sea and towards the wind" . In fewer words, towards Sardinia. A decisive direction, which was immediately contested by the “Su Entu Nostu” committee.
A harsh response from the group: «On a special mission in Sardinia», they reply, «he comes to explain to us why we must resign ourselves and follow orders. Undersecretary Barbaro (nomen omen) lies knowing he is lying and must be reminded of his duties, that is, to carry out his mandate "with discipline and honor".
Then we get into the matter: «We remind the proconsul Barbaro that the requests for connection to the Sardinian electricity grid presented to Terna for the construction of new plants from Fer», explains Su Entu Nostu, « have reached the impressive number of 718 , for a total power of 56.8 Gigawatts. Therefore, considering the power envisaged by the announced Frattin decree, equal to approximately 6 Gw, there would be an excess of 50 Gw: an enormity! In the hypothesis that all these plants were built, there would be a new available production capacity of over 100 TWh/year against an electricity requirement of less than 9 TWh per year: 12 times as much! »
Energy which, according to the committee, could neither be absorbed by the «disastrous Sardinian electricity grid», nor exported «even taking into account the new Tyrrhenian Link cable . An infrastructure, the latter, recklessly approved supinely by the Region without the slightest negotiation, which took into account the situation of the network in the overall picture of the energy situation of the Island".
Hence the opposition: « Not only is there no real advantage for the populations but, on the contrary, a devastation of our precious territories is being prepared with the associated theft of our collective assets. We will oppose this massacre with all our strength. We have seen many barbarians and we guarantee that we will not tolerate one more!".
