Italy has been slowly going down for the last 30 years. Too many small businesses that are not competitive, providing lower salaries; populism rose. The State of Italy is spending ~30 billions each year for improving the insulation of old buildings, without lowering emissions significantly or having a real effect on the economy. With all the money that have already been spent just on this measure, Italy could have built so many nuclear reactors that it would have ensured zero carbon emission electricity for many years. That is just an example.
