Stefano Bandecchi (pictured), businessman, sports manager, mayor of Terni and now gubernatorial candidate in the regional elections in Campania with the «Dimensione Bandecchi» list, discussed Palazzo Chigi with a topic close to his heart: energy. “I’m a convinced nuclear expert,” he explains. «I believe that the return to use of nuclear energy is an important strategic choice for Italy: it serves to guarantee autonomy, stability and sustainable tariffs». The analysis is as follows: «Our country consumes large amounts of electricity every day, but the national energy mix is still very fragile: most of the production still comes from fossil sources (gas and oil), while renewable energies account for a smaller share, although it is clearly increasing».
And again: «It is absurd that Italy, despite being surrounded by countries where nuclear power is a consolidated reality, is still unable to exploit this technology on its own territory, buying energy produced by nuclear power from neighboring countries at very high prices. I ask the government to speed up the return to construction of new power plants.”
