Clash between government and Sardinia over wind turbines. It is not a beach game, but a summer political game that is already looking towards autumn. Who remembers such a hot summer on the environmental and energy front? Italians who enjoy their well-deserved holidays - starting with the prime minister, said without sarcasm - do not have to worry about future bills or whether the energy they consume is produced by polluting or not. The politicians are playing the game, and for those who want to follow them there is the rest of the year. But, coincidentally, right at the height of the heat, the government churns out measures after measures on the environment, climate and energy. Even one appeal to the Constitutional Court against a law of Sardinia.
No to everything again?
Here are the facts: the president of the Sardinia Region Alessandra Todd he had one approved 18 month moratorium – she says – against new plants for renewables. It was a central point of its electoral program, but the government believes that the regional law violates three articles of the Constitution. Todde actually wants to stop the installation of wind turbines in certain places. “Our law has proven effective and impactful, forcing the government to challenge it,” he said. We thus find ourselves faced with yet another clash between opposition, bans and "No" to everything. Committee after committee, petition after petition, we have arrived at 2024 with a load of misunderstandings and unclear strategies on what we really need to improve and grow. For once, let's face it: there's a touch of patriotism. It comes at us from the right, unfortunately. Also this summer with a permanent red label, with the splendid Sardinia included. What times, when Silvio Berlusconi showed the US Rich and sumptuous Costa Smeralda throughout the world. The fake Vesuvius steaming in his villa demonized climate change. Today, on the case of wind turbines, the prime minister's party is being judged for an ambiguity of behavior between Rome and Cagliari. Better not to say about those of President Todde's party. You console us to know that there is a judge in Rome. Fortunately.
