Italy, first step in the return to nuclear power

The majority of the Chamber has taken another step towards the return of nuclear energy in Italy. nuclear energy as an alternative and clean source for the production of energy".

Various motions on energy matters were voted in the Chamber, and nuclear power was at the center of the requests of the majority parties. They have been united in a single document, of which the first signature is by Alessandro Cattaneo, of Forza Italia, which then received wide approval from the deputies.

In fact, together with the majority, Action and Italia Viva also voted. The group leader of the two parties in the Chamber, Daniela Ruffino, reiterated in the Environment Commission that in their opinion "nuclear energy has a very low environmental impact, is now free from significant risks and is therefore the most effective technology for achieving the decarbonisation objective set by the 'European Union for 2050“.

The minority opposed it, but at the same time we note the ambiguity of forces such as the PD in the words of parliamentarian Diego Di Sanzo, for whom the problem is that the government is advancing on the issue "in an approximate, confused way, without a clear strategy and without having come to terms with the heavy legacy of the past". For the Democrats, this is what has already prompted the Italians to say no to this energy source.

In the motion of the PD there is no clear opposition to the atom, on the contrary. The point of their text was approved which calls for "the identification of a single site for both low and medium intensity nuclear waste and, in an intermediate phase, for the same high intensity waste" by 2023. We recall that today Sogin, the company proposed for this task, is under receivership.
