Everyone wants to be green without
making the necessary sacrifices, Ecological Transition Minister
Roberto Cingolani told an ANSA webinar on switching to hydrogen
use Wednesday.
Hydrogen and fuel cell technologies have significant potential
to enable this transition to a clean, low-carbon energy system.
"The problem of climate-altering emissions is clear, but the
sacrifice that everyone must make is not clear," said the
minister.
"Everyone wants to be green, but then they don't want a
wind-power stanchion in front of their homes, or they want to
keep using social media which produce so many emissions.
"Everyone wants renewables, but then they don't really want
them.
"The climate emergency requires sacrifices, and we all must put
something into it".
Physicist and academic Cingolani, 59, was innovation chief at
aerospace giant Leonardo before being named Italy's first
ecological transition minister in the Draghi government.
