Italy may reopen coal plants amid concerns about energy supply, PM says
Italy will increase the domestic production of gas and may reopen coal-fired power stations under plans to ensure energy security, Prime Minister Mario Draghi said on Friday.
Published: 25 February 2022 14:05 CET
After Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine on Thursday, the EU announced an initial raft of sanctions against Russia with more expected to follow.
The instability and sanctions are expected to have a wide-ranging impact on gas supplies and prices in Europe, particularly in Germany and Italy, the two European countries most reliant on gas exports from Russia.
Addressing Italy’s parliament on Friday, Draghi laid out plans to offset price increases and turn to alternative sources of energy.
“The sanctions require us to carefully consider the impact on our economy,” he said.
“The biggest concern is in the energy sector, which has already been hit by price rises in recent months: around 45 percent of the gas we import comes from Russia, up from 27 percent ten years ago.”

They could always re-open Chernobyl, nuclear = less carbon
So, your point is that nuclear power is dangerous?
You do understand that the technology has advanced since Chernobyl, right?
There is a good chance that Australia goes nuclear also.
Or could this simply be facetiousness that you aren't known for?

No just saying, your "anti-hero" Putin could re-open more nuclear plants (like re-open Chernobyl). I'm all for nuclear power in Australia.

I think nuclear accidents have unnecessarily put back nuclear programs around the world. Little did the world think of preparing for global warming,
Nuclear reactors = no carbon emissions.
Tell it to the environmentalists.

There is a famous environmentalist who has been talking about this for years now.
I can't recall his name.
