Valley of Hell steam power to free Italy from coal imports
Italy aims to harness volcanic steam in Tuscany’s Lardarello to power trains and cities. Engineers convert 300 wells to over 2,000,000 kilowatt hours daily, with eight turbine plants delivering 32,800,000 kilowatts monthly. The program, expanded with Marshall Plan aid, plans 5,931,000,000 kilowatt hours by 1952.
