It closes the Italy of goodness and taste. Obviously nobody does anything. Death of the economy, failure of politics
There is an economic, entrepreneurial and work Italy that is leaving, that is closing, all due to the skyrocketing energy prices and the total sloth of the Draghi government, all while the mid-political electoral campaign is based on the accusation of fascism to the other half ..
The Sieni pastry shop in Florence , a century of sweet art history, closes because the electricity bill has increased from 1800 euros in June 2021 to 10240 in 2022. An eight-fold increase, which no efficiency improvement can heal and which becomes difficult pass on to retail prices. At this point the choice is to close, even if the business had a century of life and was one of the pride of Florence. Among other things, probably, the super-bill also derives from obligations that will have forced the pastry shop to use electric ovens instead of gas. To the delight of Mayor Nardella, yet another fast food restaurant for recent tourists will open. If it had been a bakery in the suburbs, perhaps with the old diesel ovens still, the impact would have been much lower.
This is just the latest chapter of a death that runs throughout Italy: Rummo di Benevento denounces a 15-fold increase in gas prices, from 15 cents to 2 euros per square meter. to the well-known company of preserves La Fiammante of Salerno an increase in the electricity bill of eight times the value.
If we leave the food sector, just take the example of the ceramic sector and of a company, ItaCeramiche di Fiorano Modenese, which in July received a gas bill of 1,882,699 euros (for 898,920 cubic meters). In the same month 2021 he had paid € 224,288 (for 942,619 cubic meters): 739% more, with a lower gas consumption.
The Draghi government has a lot to do in self-incensing at the Rimini Meeting. It has actually done next to nothing for companies. ENI has worked harder, creating gas in half the world, but self-production, the only real salvation, has always slowed down.
The Meeting, a useless catwalk of the powerful, was a good opportunity for something to be avoided in order to save energy: a few hundred Kw / h to listen to useless words might have helped a small company not to close and lay off workers.
Yet something could be done. for example, ssi could completely detach the price of gas from TTF contracts, except for those unfortunately already quoted. National production could be pushed further. It was possible at least to start setting up an extended plan on the mini-hydroelectric, with small reins and low-flow turbines even on lower flows, in order to produce small, but widespread, water reserves for drought and accompany it to low-impact electricity production. . A channel of dialogue could be reopened with Russia, which at this stage, willy-nilly, is the only partner that can supply incremental quantities at acceptable prices. Yet very little has been done, in the hope that in the end everything will work out by itself. This time it will not happen like this, this time the boast of the various mayors will close. This time there will be no turning back.
