Apples to oranges. But in italy, solar with batteries may already be cheaper. Or geothermal energy. But, hey, they want to do a study and the study will find that out too.
- amarcheschi 2y agoGeothermal energy is already exploited in italy. About 1/3rd of Tuscany energy production happens thanks to geothermal, which is also used for heating purposes [1] There are also new plants in the making [2] Being tuscanian, I visited the museum or geothermal energy in larderello once, the area of larderello is quite uncanny, in some parts the ground is literally fuming steam. There's also a smell of rotten eggs lol https://www.enelgreenpower.com/stories/articles/2024/10/geothermal-energy-tuscany-sustainable-development#:~:text=With%20nearly%206%20billion%20KWh,the%20renewable%20energy%20produced%20there. https://www.enelgreenpower.com/stories/articles/2024/10/geot... https://www.lanazione.it/cronaca/geotermia-patto-regione-enel-la-toscana-b7a538f6 https://www.lanazione.it/cronaca/geotermia-patto-regione-ene...

- amarcheschi 2y agoIt definitely resonates a lot, especially since that area has been known for centuries for that type of geothermal activity. I don't know whether Dante visited larderello, but next time I meet a local guide I'll ask them
