The problem with natural gas in Italy: Aro 90% of it is imported, and (used to be) split evenly on Putin and Ghadaffi. What makes a lot of sense is having hot water solar panels delivering the hot water. The crazy Germans - no doubt you have read about this - after Fukushima decided to abolish all nuke power by year 2022. A decision made by the current government in their despair to get re elected in 2013 (won't help IMHO). That means Putin and his Gazprom (run by former german chancellor Schroder), strengthen their grip and influence on German politics. As for the remainder, additional power will be imported from France. Nuke power, that is. Of course the 40-50 or so conventional power plants (half of them Russian gas driven) will help to fill the void, albeit at the price of greatly increased CO2 emissions. Which puts the global warmers in a jinx, since they are the very same groups lobbying against the nuke power. If people, mainly the libs, could just ever make up their mind, man would the world get easy :) /Taro
