Confusion or bad faith? Anyone who observes energy issues in Italy has more than one deviation in following government representatives. The latest dispute on green houses he sees the Minister of the Environment Gilberto Piquet Fratin winner over the League. Replying to a senator of the party led by Matteo Salvini on the risk of making Italians pay new taxes to improve the quality of homes, Pichetto has gained a position in the eco-sustainable field. He will be satisfied, given that since he took on the role of minister it is difficult to remember the criticisms and rejections on the issues of environmental protection and energy peace.
Now, the vast majority of the Italian building stock was built before 1976 – Enea told us – the year in which the first law on energy saving in buildings came into force. Do we let everything rot and then it will be rebuilt? It will take decades and decades. The Meloni government has never given much effort on these issues, often leaving the minister alone. On the European directive which establishes new energy saving targets for the building stock, Italy voted against. She gave a muscular display that was incomprehensible to most and put herself in a corner. Picchetto Fratin has now said, however, that it is necessary acceleration that process and took a different path. Good afterthought, but who puts in the money, that's the question to ask and what do we do? The Northern League members fear a round of money to be paid by the owners, a new tax on the house, a possibility that the Environment Minister ruled out yesterday by starting the dispute. No one would like to burden themselves without understanding which side the State is on. Bad faith? If there is, it is all within the government majority which is unable to overcome the misunderstandings regarding everything related to the green transition. According to the approved European directive, homes will have to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 2030% by 60.
A first goal towards climate neutrality to be achieved twenty years later, a topic, moreover, called into question by the new European Parliament. Pichetto clarified, the League doesn't believe it million euros necessary are played like roulette. Italians would like to understand well and above all they would like greater seriousness. And should Europe appreciate these shows?
