The big fat waste of Italian gas - Paolo Ermani

The gas that we import gets thrown out of the window. We could halve imports. In fact we waste at least half. The efficiency of our generating stations goes from 35% to 55%. Furthermore, the Italian energy system is strongly centralised and this brings about losses in the distribution. If we add in that the passive houses, that consume 15 kw/m2 per year, between 10 and 15 times less than a normal house, are almost non-existent, you can understand in whose hands we are. A national energy plan is more than ever urgent and necessary.

The energy system in Italy is heavily centralised. The centralisation is the root of all the waste and all the blackouts.

The advantages of thermal insulation
The solutions given by the expersts are: “If our problem is dependency, let’s increase dependency. If our problem is the greenhouse effect, let’s increase the greenhouse effect.” But why act like this? Because the first and only thought of the energy monopolists is their wallet, and these people have absolutely no interest in safeguarding the environment and the people, even because there have been similar crises in the past,

Energy saving on a par with wellbeing
We have Marchionne who still belongs to the Pleistocene era who still wants to sell cars in Italy in a country where there are more vehicles than people with driving licences, thus if one thinks that from these people the solutions are forthcoming, we can abandon every hope. But in fact we ourselves can place many solutions on the table.
