Workers were installing solar panels on the roof of one of the Vatican’s auditoriums last week. The panels will generate enough energy to heat or cool the 6000-seat room, used by the pope in case of bad weather for his weekly audiences with pilgrims. Pope Benedict VI has voiced his concerns about the environment several times since his election in 2005. The panels will allow the Vatican to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 200 tonnes every two weeks, according to one of the workers.
