A study by Societa Italiana di Fisica

摘要

Given the importance and up-to-dateness of the subject, the Italian Physical SocietySIF has decided to reprint its "White Book", ENERGY IN ITALY: PROBLEMS AND PERSPECTIVES (1990-2020), as a special issue of IL Nuovo CIMENTO B. This issue is in honour of the late SIF President Giuseppe-Franco Bassani, to recall his leading role in establishing a very active and authoritative "SIF Energy Commission", bringing together a number of distinguished experts in the various fields. The SIF Energy Commission was able to produce this White Book, as a comprehensive study on the subject, in just one year time. It was successfully presented at the international meeting on "Energy perspectives in Europe", jointly organized by the European Physical Society (EPS) and SIF. The meeting was held in Varenna, Italy, on 7-8 April 2008: it was the second of a series that eventually led to the creation in 2010 of a dedicated "EPS Energy Group", budded from the existing "EPS Technology Group".
