> some organized crime groups have taken advantage of Italy’s clean energy transition; one farmer who testified to an anti-Mafia commission in 2022 said he was approached by solar panel companies to sell his land after it had been burned.

> “These are inhumane acts. Sadly, men are their own worst enemies.”

The clearance rate for arson in most jurisdictions in southern Italy is some incredibly low number.

Even brazen arson in densely populated urban cores has clearance rates well under 50%… and there’s no significant momentum to address that, so effectively the people of Italy have given up a long time ago.
