Venetian glass makers close factories due to gas prices

The energy crisis could leave Italy without a traditional business. The country is closing factories for the production of the famous Venetian glass. This is due to the rapid rise in natural gas prices.

A return to wood-burning stoves can not be due to restrictions on emissions. The transition to electrical equipment will not save the situation either, it is impossible to maintain the temperature and control the process of creating glass on it.

According to the masters, gas is an indispensable fuel. Only thanks to him it is possible to diversify the palette of colors of products so much. Now half of the budget of the factories goes to maintain the operation of the furnaces. If they are turned off, each new heating to the desired values will take up to two weeks.

Earlier, Gazprom reported that less than 20% of the gas pumped in the summer remained in Europe.
