In terms of nuclear power, "fourth generation technologies are emerging, without enriched uranium and heavy water. There are countries that are investing in this technology, it is not mature, but it is close to being mature. If at a certain moment it happens that the kilos of radioactive waste are very few, the safety high and the low cost is crazy not to consider this technology ". This was stated by the Minister of Ecological Transition, Roberto Cingolani, at an event in Italy alive. "In the interest of our children it is forbidden to ideologize any type of technology. Let's keep to the numbers, when they are available we will make the decisions".
"The world is full of radical chic environmentalists and it is full of extremist, ideological environmentalists - said Cingolani -: they are worse than the climate catastrophe towards which we are shot, if we do not do something sensible. They are part of the problem, I hope that stay open to a non-ideological confrontation, look at the numbers. If you don't look at the numbers, you risk hurting yourself like never before ". "The ecological transition must be sustainable - explained the minister - otherwise we will not die of pollution, but of starvation. We need a transition with decarbonisation and a brake on CO2 production, but that gives society time to adapt to these transformations. Co2 cannot be reduced by closing car factories tomorrow, putting millions of families on the pavement ".In terms of green interventions, "Italy must demonstrate that it is a leader and must take the other countries with it and Europe must be a leader and take the other continents with it. In the next ten years, a global effort is needed. This challenge is epochal. politics has a monstrous task, we need ethical politics at the international level ".
Bonelli (Verdi), Cingolani insults environmentalists
. "For Cingolani, environmentalists are radical chic and worse than the climate catastrophe. Never has a minister of the Republic expressed himself with such recklessness and lack of respect for a community of people in our country". This was declared by the national co-spokesman of Europa Verde, Angelo Bonelli. "Cingolani insults the ecological world - continued Bonelli - and has opened a campaign of fear against the ecological transition, to stop modernization and defend the interests of the oil lobbies". "Speaking of ecologists and radical chic - concluded Bonelli -, I say to Minister Cingolani that the undersigned was born and raised in Casal Bernocchi, a popular district of Rome. Instead, tell us who wanted him to be a minister,to stop the ecological transition and re-propose nuclear power rejected by the Italian referendum ".
