I tragici e recenti avvenimenti della guerra che sta scuotendo l’Europa e il mondo intero hanno messo in crisi tutto ciò che fino a poco tempo fa consideravamo una certezza: non solo la pace, ma anche la disponibilità delle materie prime, e quindi il loro reperimento e stoccaggio, lasciandoci con quesiti importanti sul futuro energetico. In questa nuova pubblicazione, Andrea Moccia ci darà gli strumenti per conoscere la materia, capire quali sono le armi a nostra disposizione per combattere la profonda crisi energetica in corso e rispondere alle domande che quest’ultima ha sollevato nell’opinione pubblica.
