AI Summary:
Italy agrees to a plan to turn a 430-hectare (1,000-acre) field north of Rome into a vast solar farm. It will generate enough electricity to meet the needs of Vatican City and turn it into the world's first carbon-neutral state. The Italian parliament must approve the arrangement, since the territory enjoys extraterritorial status that must be extended. Pope Francis last year tasked the Vatican to study developing the area. The agreement stipulates that the development of the site will preserve the agricultural use of the land and minimize the environmental impact on the territory. In the 1990s at the height of the controversy, residents sued Vatican Radio officials, claiming the emissions exceeded the Italian legal limit, but the court cleared the transmitter.
