Sardinia (Italy): green capitalism under fire again

On September 9, on the occasion of attacks on industrial wind turbines in Mamoiada and Villacidro, we published a short summary of mobilizations against “energy speculation” in Sardinia, with some details about the two sabotages at the end of August.

As it happens, the series didn’t stop there, as a third occurred shortly afterwards against one of the countless “green” nuisances being installed on the island. On the night of Monday to Tuesday, September 11, at around 4 a.m., in the Garganu area near Tuili in the south of the territory, two thousand photovoltaic panels were completely destroyed after being sprayed with petrol and then set alight. The panels had been stored at the site for use by Polish energy multinational Greenvolt Power.



With a 2022 authorization, Greenvolt Power had just begun construction work on this new photovoltaic plant in Sardinia a month ago, with the support of the mayor of Tuili. The same mayor who now proclaims to anyone who will listen that the population of his village is “peaceful and hard-working”, and “has never shown any signs of intolerance”. Just to say that the sabotage came from elsewhere. On the side of those sectarians who have been fighting for months against energy speculation on the land. On the side of those who reject the benefits of Progress, on an island already ravaged by fossil capitalism and now invaded by its green imitator.

But who said that tolerance (from the Latin tolerantia, patience, resignation) had to be a virtue? Particularly in the face of techno-industrial civilization, which is multiplying ecological disasters and wiping out all possibility of autonomy, bringing the planet to the brink of collapse? For if freedom is a compass, cultivating practical intolerance against all that crushes it is surely one of the wisest vices.
