| Rimini, Italy--
"It would be better to use hydrogen rather than nuclear" energy to face
the energy crisis, said Environment Minister Altero Matteoli in a press
conference during the Communion and Liberation summit in Rimini.
The AN minister said "I believe in
hydrogen: this year I have visited a large number of plants, and things
have progressed much. It is definitely a preferable energy source than
the nuclear".
Matteoli explained that "it takes
12 years [to build a nuclear plant]. How long would it take to obtain a
permit from a municipality to build one? We would have the plant in no
less than 15-16 years".
According to the Environment Minister,
"renewable solar energy sources would not be enough".
On wind power: "Our country is, environmentally
speaking, is more beautiful than many others: so we have to find appropriate
locations to build these wind energy plants"..
