Marcegaglia: renewables and nuclear to reduce energy costs

Renewables and nuclear are the tools to lower the cost of energy in the medium to long term. Emma Marcegaglia, president and CEO of the holding of the same name, is convinced of this and, on the sidelines of the Teha Forum in Cernobbio, calls for "further increasing renewable investments".

The latter allow us to "lower the cost of energy and make us more independent from the countries that supply us with gas". "The second aspect - he continues - is to return to nuclear power, because we need diversification" of sources.

"In the meantime however - he observes - given that we will have nuclear power in a few years and we will have the results on renewables later, it is necessary to support workers, let's say consumers and businesses who cannot continue to pay a cost that is the highest in Europe".

"We therefore need temporary support - he concludes - for those who have an enormous impact on the cost of energy, such as the steel, chemical and paper sectors, and, also from the point of view of the workers, let's think about fuel".
