Greatest Reset: Europe Could Achieve Net Zero by Demolishing its Historic Buildings and Starting Again, Says Italian Central Bank

A top central banker has warned of the damage the rush to ‘Net-Zero’ risks doing to Europe’s economy, and illustrates the point by noting erasing Europe’s built heritage would be necessary to meet extreme green demands.

Among comments by Paolo Angelini, deputy governor at the Bank of Italy about European Net Zero targets which, in his opinion, risk doing more harm than good, the central banker articulated what level of change would actually be needed from Europeans to meet those demands.

While saying pushing Europe to net zero risks destabilising the continent’s economy and undermining Europe’s ability to lead on green issues globally, the top economist made his point by revealing he’d asked his team at the Bank of Italy what would be necessary just to make the single institution that he leads compliant.

I better get over to Florence soon to see Il Duomo before they tear it down.

Sure, brilliant idea he’s got. Heck, start with the Leaning Tower of Pisa since it’s already falling over. Next could be the Vatican. Then the Parthenon, the Coliseum and the Basilica. Don’t forget all those quaint old wineries. Of course, the Central Bank would lose out on all those billions brought in from tourists. Italy’s tourism accounts for 13% of their GDP and 14% of jobs.

PSTUPID beyond belief!

[SaveFerris]

And we are living it.

Incredibly.

[SaveFerris]

I think that building was in Hudson Hawk?

Erasing history. Coupled with people’s general lack of historical knowledge and aversion to the sublime, this is the road to creating more self-centered “modern” men. This is by design. Modern architecture is downright ugly.

[Pearfect]

Start by demolishing their central,bank building.

[Billthedrill]

I'm all for it. After all, there was a lot to say in favor of the Soviet Brutalist movement in architecture. This, for example, would make a nice replacement for, say, Notre Dame:

...but not quite as much as they hate themselves.

[Ban Draoi Marbh Draoi]

What in the world is that?!

[Billthedrill]

That's the Ilenden memorial in Macedonia. Here's an interior shot:

Weird but interesting place. Stained glass - just like Notre Dame! OK, maybe not...

“Modern architecture is downright ugly.”

You know who else says this, vociferously? Ready for it? King Charles III. That’s right, the U.K.’s new King Charles. He hates modern architecture and has previously campaigned against it. At least in this arena I’m cheering on the King of England and totally agree with him, so he’s not all bad as a royal, is he.

[grimalkin]

I didn't know that, and he is not wrong!

One building that I particularly hate (besides most postwar architecture in general) is the Caltrans headquarters in LA.

“One building that I particularly hate (besides most postwar architecture in general) is the Caltrans headquarters in LA.”

Yikes. That’s one plumb ugly building. The architect should live in infamy.

[Lazamataz]

I actually like it. It looks like one of those old punch cards.
