SONDRIO, Oct 23 (Reuters) - The construction of nuclear plants is very expensive and time-consuming. And 'better focus on energy efficiency to reduce emissions of CO2 in the atmosphere.
He stressed the CEO of Eni, Paolo Scaroni, speaking at a conference on the evolution of the price of oil, organized by Popolare di Sondrio.
"Nuclear power plants are expensive, time consuming and is not that easy. I think we must take the road of nuclear power, but will not be a short-term solution. Again the best way to reduce CO2 is energy efficiency, "said the manager.
Scaroni reiterates thus no interest group to participate, for the moment, the part of nuclear Italian. Government officials have asked to 'Eni to become the partner of the second Italian consortium, after the EDF-ENEL candidate to achieve four core technology Areva.
Some weeks ago the Minister for Economic Development, Claudio Scajola, has signed several agreements in the United States with Westinghouse (which is a licensee company Ansaldo Energia, group Finmeccanica) which is said to be ready to participate in the construction of power plants in Italy. To achieve this second consortium fails to include the industrial partner.
Scaroni is then returned to the speculation linked to the price of oil. "Speculation on oil is a bit 'like the foam on the waves, if there were no waves there would be foam. Speculation boosts phenomena, but it creates them. "
As the trend of petrol prices, again increasing, Scaroni said that the price depends on many factors: how will the oil, petrol and diesel sold on international markets. When you go, you'll pay for gas oil $ 200 a barrel because there are 120-130 of taxes, which remain whatever the price of the barrel.
