great!
while in Italy, the main gas leader ENI (with its hands everywhere, even in cultural events) states:
"...[in a] path to contribute to carbon neutrality by 2050 [...] Eni's decarbonization strategy envisages [...] an increasingly important role for #gas"

so you have an idea of the pressure Italian's media receives from ENI, and not just media. Greenpeace says ENI gives money to university energy research on this (and universities do not want to disclose the amount of $$ they receive)

- bjohnson225 5y agoThat’s the same in most of Europe. Renewables have to be supplemented by gas plants which can turn their production up and down much quicker than nuclear, coal, etc. In the future the gas plants can be replaced by various forms of storage, but until then gas is important even with electrified heating and cooking.
