Fubini and Conte: the Italian way to sustainable energy: buy at the price we decide. Hello core …
The energy crisis has produced flashes of genius today which, let's face it, show the best of Italian genius.
Today Fubini as an example presents his idea of how to solve supply problems:
The idea that, according to him, the Government has is the following: Set a maximum price ceiling that decreases over time, for example from 100 euros per MW to 80 in two years, and therefore methane does NOT appear from those who do not respect this roof. Brilliant I would say, because we didn't think about it before !! So, if the market price is 200 euros per Mw / h, I go to one of my five suppliers, Russia, Azerbaijan, Algeria, Norway (Via Germania) and Libya (minor) and tell him that I don't buy from him if he doesn't charge me a certain price, because the government, and especially Fubini, still believe that that price is "very profitable". As if to say that I go to the baker, I ask him the price of bread per kg, he tells me "Five euros", I tell him that I pay a maximum of four and I go out with great satisfaction and without bread. With the aggravating circumstance that maybe in the city I have a hundred supermarkets and bakers, and maybe one that sells for less than four euros I can find it. here I have only five suppliers of which, apart from Russia, none have the capacity to supply us completely with gas, if only for infrastructural reasons. How do you think the negotiation will end? Then Fubini is surprised that this fantastic idea has not been accepted by the other European partners. Who knows why …
But the Italian genius has no limits. Here is the solution according to “Giuseppi” Conte: more taxes, because it is known that more taxes generate gas and oil.
Carobenzina and carobollette are overwhelming the lives of citizens, families, workers and businesses. We must lighten the burden of these increases – unsustainable for many families and for the most exposed productive categories – by intervening immediately

Instead of taxing the extra profits, it would be enough to uncouple the calculation system, decided at European level, of the price of energy from that of gas and, at the most, to fix a maximum mark-up of the piece of gas NOT based on spot prices, but on contracts at long term or mining investments. The solution to tax insurance is… interesting and fun: and I thought that Facile.it was enough to find a policy more consistent with the number of km I travel. Incidentally, raising taxes does not lower costs, at least in the normal economy.
You understand that, since Italy is in the hands of such politicians and ruling classes, we are in an "Iron barrel": spiked and they are about to roll more from a hill …
