Energy, "with these prices Lombardy businesses risk stopping"

Lombardy Region's Economic Development Councilor Guido Guidesi warns that if high energy prices persist, the region's economic system may come to a halt. The region's manufacturing sector has seen an increase in revenue but a decrease in profitability due to high production costs, particularly energy costs. Guidesi is calling for immediate measures, including greater transparency in energy price calculations, limits on financial speculation, and a price cap to mitigate the effects of inflated energy costs.

He also advocates for more structural solutions, such as increasing energy autonomy and exploring various energy sources, including nuclear power.
