13 0460/21/M/J/11 © UCLES 2011 [Turn over For Examiner’s Use Energy sources used in Italy Italy imports oil and gas by ship to ports such as Brindisi and by the network of pipelines across the Mediterranean Sea. These imports could be increased but there are concerns about rising oil prices and over-dependence on imported supplies. No coal was produced in Italy in 2007; however the country has coal reserves in the Sulcis area of Sardinia. In July 2009, environmental activists protested about Italy’s largest coal fired power station in Brindisi. This was a protest about global warming as a result of greenhouse gases from coal fired power stations. Italy is the only major industrialised nation without its own nuclear power supplies. Production was phased out following a public consultation in 1987. This followed the major pollution incident at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine. There is evidence for a change in public opinion, especially among younger people, because nuclear power does not produce greenhouse gases. In May 2008 the Italian government announced that it will begin building new nuclear power stations in the next five years. Fig. 9 Italy wants to increase electricity supplies. Using information from Figs 8 and 9 only, give one advantage and one disadvantage of choosing each of the following types of power station.
