On nuclear power, “the Government’s will is not to leave behind any technology that can allow us to reach the goal of zero emissions”. This was underlined by Francesco Corvaro, the government’s special envoy for climate change, who on the sidelines of the meeting organized in the historic Italgas headquarters in Turin recalled that Italy has an industrial sector and very high know-how in the sector. “The Cop has put nuclear energy among the possible technologically advantageous solutions to reach Net Zero in 2050 – continued Corvaro – it is necessary to think and evaluate the possibility of returning to this sector”. “We must have clear objectives. If the objectives are clear, putting everything we have on track is a must because the time we have is short. So everything that is useful in order to reach that goal, which are the targets of the Paris agreement, i.e. 1.5 degrees, must be taken into consideration – he concluded – and I would say that the government has a very pragmatic, realistic vision of situation”.
