Giorgia Meloni puts brakes on Italy’s solar energy rollout

1. I don’t know the full context but on the surface doesn’t seem unreasonable. Farmland is valuable so why trade for solar when you can keep both or put the panels elsewhere. Over canals, parking lots, along highways, train tracks.

2. > Rome will require more costly installations of at least 2.1 metres above ground, to allow cultivation underneath.

   So pay the extra 20% to put them on stilts and grow food as well.

   Even without the food grown on the land, solar being 20% more expensive is still cheap power.

   Seems fairly sensible honestly.

3. Stupid stupid.

4. Bet she’s getting some bribes from big oil.

5. Lol food security, most of their wheat is imported from the eastern europe anyway. She’s just trying to remain popular with deluded italian rightwingers, whilst probbaly taking fat bribes from gas n oil firms
