Italy Plans An Energy U-Turn, A Comeback To Nuclear Power As Green Energies “Far From Sufficient”

“So while Germany is saying goodbye to the use of nuclear energy, the technology is making a comeback in Italy, where people turned away from it almost 40 years ago. This is more than noteworthy, since Italy is so far the only major European country besides Germany that has abandoned the use of nuclear energy. Under the pressure of the energy crisis, however, the Italians have suddenly become painfully aware of their heavy dependence on electricity from abroad. The issue is moving citizens because they are clearly feeling the inflation of their electricity bills, despite government aid.”

Expect many countries to follow Italy’s course correction – except for Germany, which will obstinately cling to its wind and solar ideology to the very end even though a growing number of experts are calling for an extension of the operating times of its remaining nuclear plants.

The Berliner Morgenpost adds that Italy produces only 25 percent of the energy it needs itself. “Although renewable energies have been significantly expanded in recent years, the production of green electricity is far from sufficient.”

Surely nuclear power plants would provide a much needed energy boost for Italy. Whether the country can do away completely with fossil fuels, remains doubtful, however.

    It is interesting how freezing in the dark gets one’s attention.

    If, like other places, it takes a dozen years to plan, build, and connect a nuclear plant, the civilization will end before completion. The indigenous swallows, swifts, and martins will find the half completed structures accomodating.

    Not a short term solution… Building a NPP is costly and the building schedule is NEVER fulfilled, which turns the costly even more costly!

    And does broke Italy has the money to do such thing?

    Better to order a pizza and wait for it!

    But what is the long term economics of nuclear power? They have never decommissioned one. They can’t get rid of the waste. What is the cost of storing that forever? What will be the cost of guarding the old ones forever?

    We have voted 2 times against nuclear for obvious reasons: earthquakes, other geologic events (landslides, see the recent one in Ischia) + the always present danger that mafia controlled companies would get some contracts and instead of concrete provide some sort of low quality material in the constructions. So if someone tries to build another nuclear powerplant there will be a revolution in Italy. Believe me.
