Will solar energy fuel Vatican Radio?

In a decree, he said the solar energy generated would be sufficient to fuel not only the radio operations there but the Vatican City State itself. The 430-hectare (1,063-acre) Santa Maria di Galeria site, which enjoys extraterritorial status, was inaugurated in 1957 as a base for Vatican Radio.

Will solar panels fuel Vatican City?

(AP Photo/ Gregorio Borgia, File) ROME (AP) — Pope Francis decreed Wednesday that an area of northern Rome, long the source of controversy because of electromagnetic waves emitted by Vatican Radio towers there, will now house a field of solar panels to fuel Vatican City.

Is there a link between Vatican Radio & Vatican Radio?

The Vatican long insisted there was no causal link. In the 1990s, residents sued Vatican Radio officials, claiming the emissions exceeded the Italian legal limit, but the court cleared the transmitter.

Will a Vatican Radio station be installed in 2025?

The future installation would be projected to “ensure, not only the power supply of the radio station existing there, but also the complete energy support of Vatican City State,” he wrote. Fast forward to 2025, and the project is completed.
