26.06.2006 La potenza eolica installata nel 2005 nel mondo è risultata doppia rispetta a quella nucleare e la previsione per il quinquennio 2005-2010 è addirittura che la potenza eolica sovrasterà quella nucleare di almeno 5-7 volte. Secondo il Kyoto Club "il nucleare è antieconomico, mentre il business delle rinnovabili frutta 40 miliardi di dollari l'anno". Intanto il vento made in Italy, soprattutto quello del Sud, fa sempre più gola a grandi colossi dell'economia extranazionale, tedeschi in testa. La Germania, con il colosso assicurativo Allianz, si è già accaparrata un parco eolico in Sicilia mentre si stanno muovendo Danimarca e Spagna. L'Italia si scopre così paese del vento, o meglio terra fertile per un'industria lanciata verso un attivo che nelle rinnovabili non è certo facile ottenere. È lo stesso vento che ha fatto muovere, questa volta in casa, i petrolieri Garrone (Erg), partiti all'attacco di Enertad, il quinto produttore nazionale di energia eolica: l'offerta è di quasi 300 milioni di euro per il 100% delle utility.
