Italy greenlights return of nuclear power after decades-long ban

Italy's Senate has approved legislation allowing the return of nuclear power after nearly four decades. This decision marks a significant shift in the country's energy policy, driven by Premier Giorgia Meloni's efforts to enhance energy security and meet climate objectives. The move could have implications for the global energy market, particularly in Europe where Italy is a key player, and may influence other countries' approaches to nuclear power as a low-carbon energy source.

Why it matters

Italy's return to nuclear power could increase energy independence and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This could lead to increased investment in the energy sector and boost economic growth.
