Greenpeace sues Italian energy company ENI over climate change

Greenpeace and an environmental coalition including 12 Italian citizens are suing Italian energy company ENI, accusing it of knowingly contributing to climate change.

The complaint names ENI as well as its two biggest shareholders, the Italian Economy Ministry and the Italian state lender and public investment bank, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. It’s seeking past and future damages as a result of “climate change to which ENI has significantly contributed by its conduct in recent decades, while being aware of it,” according to a statement from Greenpeace Italy.

In a statement, ENI said it would demonstrate in court the “groundlessness” of the lawsuit and the “correctness” of its decarbonization strategy, which it said was balancing sustainability, energy security and competitiveness.

ENI also said it would consider legal action on its own against one of the plaintiffs, ReCommon, for alleged defamation.

Good on ENI to fight back. They should disconnect service from any plaintiffs, tell them to install solar panels on their own

The plaintiffs are also asking the court to oblige ENI to change its industrial strategy to reduce emissions by at least 45% by 2030 compared to 2020 levels to keep the average global temperature increase within 1.5 degrees Celsius, as called for by the Paris Climate Agreement.

OK, let’s say ENI loses: how much will this cost them in direct payouts and in infrastructure upgrades, which will be passed on to consumers? If they have to replace reliable, dependable, cost efficient fossil fuels with expensive, unreliable wind and solar? Have they really considered the consequences, or, do cultists just not care or think?

    Teach did you get any mail from your p ok wer company saying that rates were going up 16% because of the increase in fossil fuels?
    Are you aware that the USA is currently pumping more oil under Biden than the average under Trump?
    If we are pumping more oil now than prepandemic, why does gas cost 1$ more?

      Yes, Carbon boy. Seems the unreliables aren’t ready for prime time

      Dear H:

      Quit using such BS as “average.” We all know it is meaningless.

      Gas is priced not on current demand, but on expected future demand. Remember what happened in 2020.

      Since you Lefties are demanding that future vehicles be EV’s, the expected demand will be greatly reduced. The oil companies are making hay while the sun shines.

    If we are pumping more domestic oil now than before the pandemic, why is the price higher now?

    • Jl says:

      Johnny-remember, OPEC cut oil production by 1 million barrels a day back in April

  3. H says:

    Duke Power only get 7% of it’s power from renewables. They pay a constant contract price. They are not responsible for the 16% increase. Duke Power explicitly said it was from the cost of fossil fuels going up. Duke also said they will be increasing their renewables to 23% by 2030. Their accounts say it is cheaper

  4. H says:

    Yes JL gas consumption in the USA may have already peaked. cars are more efficient (mpg), more people are choosing to buy EVs and Biden is cramming EVs down the throats of Americans (even when there are waiting lists to buy) so total gas consumption is down.
    Any guesses as to the price of gas in 2035?

    • Jl says:

      Johnny-any guesses as to why you’re informing me of gas consumption peaking? I never mentioned it. And yes, Brandon is trying to cram EVs on Americans. But if they’re so good, why the “cramming”?

  5. H says:

    And as for bridges collapsing under the colossal weight of EVs, the Tesla Mod Y ( the top selling passenger car in the USA) fully loaded weighs 4400 pounds.
    The average (meaningless) new car sold in the USA weighs 4100 pounds
    Use a calculator to find the difference

    • CarolAnn says:

      How much do they pay you to push EV’s? Can I get in on the act? We all know by now how you leftists work. The polls: ;lies. The big reports: Lies./ The magazine features: bought and paid for.

      You are lying about EV’s the way same way you lied about vaccines, masks, the “election”, biden being fit for duty, CRT, the 1619 project, what a woman is, trading genders, and so much more. When we see guys like you who constantly promote something they don’t do or use themselves we know you’re being paid off for some nefarious reason. You are liars.

      Good try commie liar.

    I am glad to hear EVs are so popular now. Seems like a great time to end all their subsidies since the marketplace clearly supports them enough.
