To find out who had done a shit in his head, the mole started an investigation among the farm animals. “And how do you do it?” he asked the cow. “I like that,” he left his in the camp to the top, very hot. The mole was very glad that it was not the cow that had left the present. But the mole continued his research until he finally guessed who had made his head.
These days I have entered the future of renewable energies in Navarre and, over labels and lovely images, there is also a lot of shit. There are many companies – in Navarre 17 years ago – that want to leave their manure cake on the head of mountains, fields and people, here in the form of a wind park and there in the form of a photovoltaic park. In Navarre there are about 90 parks of the same type, to the point of converting the territory into an exporter of electricity. No, it is not that Navarre generates more energy than it needs, not much less, but it does now produce more electricity than it can consume and, therefore, the surpluses are sold. Only 20% of Navarre’s energy sources per year are electric – in 2019 data – and, yes, everything is renewable.
Over 60 projects such as the 90 parks now in the old kingdom are in the process of being processed in the Government of Navarra to double the renewable energy currently produced. The time will come, but today we cannot use all that energy in Navarre. So who is it for? To sell, to make someone or someone rich. In the renewable energy sector, money is heavy and more is expected in the European Union’s Next Generation fund stream. The shattering will grow to the same extent that the bubble increases, if someone doesn't put it in.
And the peasants protested, with the shit on their heads, caught on the day of the marmote, especially by the orders of the authorities. Former Minister of Foral Manu Ayerdi: “We have to be prepared to take some environmental damage.” The promoters of the companies cling to the small towns selling their green projects, filling their bags of money, heating the pockets of the small landowners and the others, destroying the most precious peace of mind in the small towns. There is a high report of allegations and environmental considerations, but it can sometimes be thought that putting the most important foreign institutions in the care of the public is like putting the fox in the care of chickens. The fate of the inhabitants of the small towns for life is to continue with the same tenacity as the topo.
Environmental activist Mikel Álvarez has produced an exhaustive critical report on the wind macro-power plants that Repsol and Endesa intend to build in the vicinity of Arano and Hernani of the region. In his opinion, this is "the largest infrastructure of this kind that is... [+]
Recently we have had other arguments to convince us of the need for macro-projects in the surroundings of Euskal Herria. An example of this was the article published on the website of the EHNE of Bizkaia to one of the participants of the Ecosocial Jump initiative: "For... [+]
