Montechiarugolo residents protest biomethane and agrivoltaic projects

An open letter addressed to Mayor Friggeri and the Montechiarugolo City Council expresses growing concern regarding industrial developments in the region. The letter highlights the advancement of an agrivoltaic project between Basilicanova and Mamiano, alongside a large biomethane plant project in Basilicagoiano.

Critics argue that these cumulative projects threaten the local agro-ecosystem and landscape. The letter challenges the administration's characterization of local opposition as 'NIMBY' (not in my backyard) syndrome, asserting that residents' concerns regarding groundwater, traffic, odors, and property values are legitimate protections of their home rather than mere selfishness.
