Italy: the fastest country in the world?

Wow, but.. how?
“We are looking at fusion and new-generation fission with completely different tools compared to large-scale nuclear plants of the past.”, said Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin.

Says @euractiv.com: Italy is on track to reintroduce nuclear energy by 2030.

@bascule @Sustainable2050 It’s always 30 years off, so yeah I think that does sound reasonable 🙂
