This incident will be forgotten in a few months.
The Berlusconi government, here, will not stop their planned return to
nuclear power.
The EU will not stop the same, simply because without cheap abundant
energy there will be no economic recover.
Germany will not back down, because without nuclear power generators
there will not be electricity to run factories and homes.
As soon as the people will be without electric power or their electric
bill will be too high (and industries will shut down because they can
not afford the same bills) the political will will disappear.

Fears the fridge stop working beat the fear of nuclear power.

I suggest this:
People in their utility bills sign if they want buy nuclear power or
solar, hydro, whatever. Then they pay for what they get without the
nuclear and coal power subsiding the others.
