When it comes to competition, it’s never enough if we think of sources to create renewable energy. But let’s take a step back and try to better understand the topic in question. We could directly speak of Luca Mantellassi, an entrepreneur and consultant in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency, and the subject would be immediately clear.

The term “renewable energy” refers to forms of energy that are regenerated in a short time when compared to the characteristic times of human history. The sources of these forms of energy are called renewable energy resources. Some are considered inexhaustible, ie reproduce at the same speed with which they are consumed, others are considered exhaustible as for example, forests, which due to the exploitation of man easily fall into the category of exhaustible. Together with nuclear energy they are forms of alternative energy and many of them have the peculiarity of being clean, ie not to introduce polluting or climate-altering substances into the atmosphere. It is easy to imagine that the sources of renewable energy are at the base of the green politics or the green economy of which Luca Mantellassi speaks in his articles.

Each country competes in this race and the best not only holds global and media recognition but also helps everyone else because producing “green” energy is a contagious fashion and the latest data show us that more and more countries are they are modernizing and that the ultimate goal is to go completely to cover all the electrical needs with renewable sources.

Luca Mantellassi talks about the “New Energy Outlook 2016” edited by Bloomberg New Energy Finance which explains the constant and decisive development in the renewable energy sector. Renewable energies are destined for a real boom in the coming years, both in Europe and in the United States. Thanks to the drop in production costs of wind turbines and solar panels, the clean sources in 2040 will guarantee up to 70 percent of the electricity supply in the countries of the Old Continent.

The date of 21 May 2017 marked an important milestone: 87% of the country’s energy demand was covered by renewables (wind, solar and hydroelectric), carbon-free generation technologies, and this figure represents a record from first page. In reality, the clamors of the first page should leave space for a more careful reading of the reported data and place the enthusiasm within the confines of reasoning. Italy, the champion of the environment, as confirmed by the same Luca Mantellassi in his articles, is progressively changing its energy habits and is conforming, not only to what are the European directives in the energy sector, but draws its successes from hydroelectric plants that provide more than 15% of the energy we need every year.
Too bad that this clean source has site limits due to the availability of the source itself; it is therefore an exhaustible source.

It is a few days ago the news that December 2017 marked a record nationally in the production of wind energy.

The data provided by Terna, the public control company that manages the high voltage grid and the distribution of electricity throughout the peninsula, comfort us and confirm that in December, compared to the same period a year ago, energy produced from wind energy, it grew by 50.4%, while production due to hydroelectric plants and plants powered by traditional sources such as gas and coal fell.
Significant growth also for photovoltaics with a growth of 14% on an annual basis.

Energy saving and poetry

Precisely in the next few days, to be exact on February 23rd, the thirteenth edition of the campaign in favor of energy saving occurs. For the day of energy saving, an advertisement was created, the slogan of which recalls the famous verses “M’illumino d’immenso” of the poem Mattina di Ungaretti.
The focus is not only on energy conservation but also on sustainable lifestyles, and is therefore aimed at a model of life that helps, promotes and encourages the sharing of actions in favor of the environment and its protection. The initiative includes “energy silence” from 6 to 8 pm: a symbolic gesture that can last only a minute and will be accomplished by institutions, associations, schools and individuals.
The “M’illumino di meno” initiative is organized under the high patronage of the European Parliament and the Presidency of the Republic, with the accession of the Senate and the Chamber. The schools were also the protagonists of the day, with the Ministry of Education inviting all 8,000 Italian institutes to show their love for the planet with events and projects.

The 13th edition of “M’illumino di meno” also sees the “debut” of the Ministry for Heritage and Cultural Activities, which adheres with about sixty museums and places (including Pompeii excavations) through squares, monuments and churches in various cities from Bolzano to Catania.

Some symbolic places of our country will remain in the dark: from Piazza San Marco in Venice to the Arena di Verona, from the Castello Sforzesco in Milan to Piazza del Campo in Siena, passing through the Campidoglio in Rome and the Mole Antonelliana in Turin.
When there is no longer any need to celebrate the world day of energy conservation, it will be a real event, for now, be content with the news revolving around renewable energy and the ever-growing “green behavior” that conquers more and more countries in the world.
