In this context, how does Italy stand: from the image point of view, our stand certainly did not shine. There were no particular differences between the Italian and Zambian ones.
President Meloni arrived on Wednesday 13 and in her speech she said: “We need a balanced energy mix to improve the transition process. We must use all available technologies. Not only renewables, but also gas, biofuels, hydrogen, CO2 capture and, in the future, nuclear fusion that could produce clean, safe and unlimited energy.”
“… it is a priority that the decarbonization phone number library process takes into account the sustainability of our production and social systems. Nature must be defended with man at the center. An overly ideological and non-pragmatic approach on this issue risks leading us astray towards success. The right path is that of technological neutrality, because currently there is no single alternative to supplies from fossil fuels.”
Two problems:
these are words that contrast with the COP28 agreement in Dubai, when all countries, including Italy, shared the decision to start a process of abandoning fossil fuels, including gas, while a marginal role had been recognized for other technologies (nuclear, biofuels, CCS);
once again we are talking about an ideological approach, referring, it is clear and well known, to those dreamers who think they can solve problems only with renewables. Who is more of a dreamer? Those who support technologies that are immediately available and already more convenient than all the others (including fossil fuels and nuclear) or those who continue to talk, now almost obsessively, about a nuclear that does not exist (whether we are talking about fusion or SMR, Small Module Reactor) and that, if they ever arrive, will have such costs that they will have to require,
