Okay, so why does electrification matter?

Well, because first, as I said, I mean, it is related to three actually items, three topics that are very important.
CPS: 14 Duration: 8.1s

One is actually related to energy security.

And so, considering that Europe has still imported 12% of natural gas from Russia,
CPS: 11 Duration: 7.52s

and has spent more than 370 billion euros to import fossil fuels,
CPS: 15 Duration: 4.34s

Maybe one more sentence. Why is electric energy more secure?
CPS: 13 Duration: 4.48s
12
It's simply because we can produce it in our own country, and so we do not rely on other countries.

So that is a way actually to avoid this dependency.

Is there something hindering this transmission from fossil to electrification?
CPS: 14 Duration: 5.54s

Where are we?
CPS: 28 Duration: 0.5s
16
Yeah, I mean, it's, no, as we are already saying, Europe is quite advanced also compared to the other countries in the world.
CPS: 20 Duration: 6.28s
17
But still, I mean, we are eager to do more.
CPS: 16 Duration: 2.74s

And so the point is exactly that there are some challenges, as we know,
CPS: 17 Duration: 4.02s
