The emblematic industrial complex of Lloseta recalls the smoky nuclear power plant of Springfield, where the character of Homer from the mythical animated series <em>The Simpsons</em> works. The inauguration of the infrastructure in August 1966 was celebrated as a great milestone of progress. The same had happened in 1958 with the commissioning of the Alcanada (Alcúdia) thermal power plant, with which Gesa brought electricity to a large part of Mallorca – in 1981 it would be taken over by the Murterar plant, located about 10 kilometers away, near l'Albufera.</p>]]></description>

      <subtitle><![CDATA[60 years ago, in the midst of the construction frenzy of the tourist 'boom', a monumental cement factory was inaugurated in Lloseta. In 2005, a group of neighbors imposed environmental measures on the company through the courts, which has now specialized in the generation of renewable energies.]]></subtitle>
