Gas crisis prompts Italians to reconsider nuclear energy

“Our energetic setup is too fragile, too dependent on gas and petrol. Italy’s energy supplies are not secure,” Pippo Ranci, the former head of Italy’s energy authority, warned in an interview with daily Corriere della Sera.
The latest energy crises have prompted the government to reconsider its stance on nuclear power.
Industry Minister Claudio Scajola effectively kickstarted the nuclear debate last November by proposing the constructing of nuclear power plants.
Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has added his voice by saying Italy should start producing its own nuclear energy.
