I don’t want another stupid war for oil
and
I don’t want nuclear plants around the Aegean
and
I don’t want oil tanker and gas pipeline games

Yes, it’s true that I want my computer and my refridgerator to work all the time while I am in Ikaria so that I’m able to work and live a normal life.
but
on the other hand, though I like wind turbines,
I don’t Ikaria to become a large aeolian factory!

No, I am NOT giving my beloved wild mountain ridge to crazy capitalist profiteers who will flatten it with roads and building sites and turn it into a desert of rubble and gravel threatening to slide down on our heads.
I had always wished my island to belong to a larger network of something. I never wanted it to be *an isolated primitive paradise*. Oh, no !
…
I want everybody to be able to enjoy the benefits of electricity. But if this is going to destroy our lives, we’d better go back to oil lamps!

NEVER!!! NEVER!!! NEVER!!!

But in the worse case, if those profiteers and prospectors actually come and we are unable to stop them because we are small and few, it’s ok, let them make a mess of the mountain -the source of our life. Let them have a big party on it’s back and break its bones… ‘Cause I know it’ll all be a cheat deal and half of their turbines will fall down
(like in the final scene of Kakogiannis’ film «Zorba the Greek» -remember?).
…
What ever it is, let them try it!..

When the party is over, me and my children and my friends (and others we will make on the way) …
…. we will camp under the wrecks of those gigantic power towers and ….

*PLANT 100.000 OAK ACORNS* !
*100.000 βελανίδια* !
See you there whenever…

Signed, of course. That project is too scary!

Thank you, everybody, for flying on my zeppelin!
I am sorry that this post was so unbalanced and cracky…
