Abandoning Nuclear in Favour of Renewable Energies: The Life Story of Giuliano Grassi—Florence, Italy

Thanks to this publication-initiatives and efforts offered by my

friend Wolfgang Palz-I shall briefly describe the history of my long

diversified international life as an engineer and scientist, essentially

spent in the energy field, mostly in the renewable sector. In fact, out

of 53 years of intensive activity, always stimulated by personal self-

confidence and enthusiasm for novelty, 20 years were dedicated to

the nuclear sector and 33 years to the renewable energy (RE) sectors

of photovoltaic (PV), wind and bio-energy, where I am still providing

my contribution on potentially strategic areas.
