Italy is planning a return to energy Berliner Morgenpost:
“So while Germany is saying goodbye to the use of nuclear power, the technology is making a comeback in Italy, where people turned their backs on it almost 40 years ago. This is even more remarkable, as Italy is by far the only major European country other than Germany to have abandoned the use of nuclear energy. However, under the pressure of the energy crisis, the Italians were suddenly painfully aware of their heavy dependence on foreign electricity. The issue is touching people because they are clearly feeling the electricity bill inflation, despite the government’s help.”
Expect more countries to follow Italy’s lead – with the exception of Germany, the country will stubbornly stick to its solar and wind ideology to the end despite increasing calls for an extension of time by experts. operations of the remaining nuclear plants.
Berliner Morgenpost adds that Italy produces only 25% of the energy it needs. “Although renewable energy has expanded significantly in recent years, green electricity generation is still not enough.”
Certainly nuclear power plants will provide a much-needed source of energy for Italy. However, whether the country can completely phase out fossil fuels remains in doubt.
