the Cavaliere decides to dump Nukes

As much as I like his taste in women, I think that Berlusconi will be
remembered in history as the guy who at least tried to get Italy
to stop cooking Nukes, for electricity generation.

He probably figured that since the Japanese are an advanced nation,
and they made a 'bruta figura' at Fukushima, then

what hope does Italy have?
Italians (guys at least) are more than a little distracted
by Berlusconi's handiwork:

The fresh list of glamorous women linked to the billionaire Italian prime minister by prosecutors included 25-year-old Manuela and Marianna Ferrera, brunette twins who present the weather on Italian TV in skimpy clothing.

Others named were Maylin Aguirre, 28, who was nominated as Italy’s candidate for Miss World, and 18-year-old beauty queen Ambra Battilana.

Berlusconi is accused of paying for sexual relations with a girl under the legal age limit for prostitution in Italy, which is 18, and abusing his position as prime minister to have the girl, a Moroccan-born belly dancer known as Ruby Heartstealer, released from custody for theft last May.

His trial is scheduled to start next month, and if found guilty he faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in jail.

Italy nuclear power probably dead after referendum-PM
ROME, June 13 (Reuters) - Prospects for nuclear power in Italy appear to have disappeared due to the probable result of a referendum, meaning the country must focus on developing renewable energy, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi said.

Speaking to reporters on Monday as Italians continued to vote in four referendums on various issues, Berlusconi said the result of the vote proposing to abandon plans to invest in nuclear energy appeared clear.

"Following the decision the Italian people are taking at this moment, we must probably say goodbye to the possibility of nuclear power stations and we must strongly commit ourselves to renewable energy," Berlusconi said. (Writing by Gavin Jones in Rome)
