Italy Moves to Reintroduce Nuclear Power by 2035, Reversing 40-Year Ban

Italy's government, led by Energy Minister Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, is advancing a bill to lift the decades-long ban on nuclear power, targeting first generation by 2035. The Senate vote marks a significant policy reversal after Italy shut its last reactors in 1990. If passed, it would reshape Italy's energy mix and reduce reliance on fossil fuel imports, though implementation and public opposition remain uncertain.
