    So, to summise;

    We have shown that the ESB Networks & Eirgrid transmission plans do not divert, or have anything to do with the dept of enviro & local authorities monies for flood repair.

    So.... What more is there to say?

    To suRmise, I said we can "afford" (even through dubious loans) to install €3.5 billion worth of ESB networks..wind farms etc and yet we can't afford to pay for flood defences. You were the one that implied i'm trying to say there is a direct link between the funding of each.(although most of the notes have the same prints on them)



    There's not much point being able to charge your iPad if your house is under water. It isn't much comfort.



    More incentives to use less power...

    Large factories should also make more effort to generate more of..if not all.. of their own power on site(where feasible).
    How many objections would you get to having turbines in industrial estates?

    Well...it isn't something ESB or Eirgrid really want to promote.

    Your entire argument has been blown out of the water because the ESB isn't getting money from the State. Their expenditure on wind farms is their. business. As for the argument on flooding defences, it makes little or no sense to pay billions to save a few people who live on flood plains.

    More importantly if this increase in weather extremes is caused by global warming wind farms are a solution.

    Have you just fallen in from the pub or are you trying to be constructive?

    Your absolutely right...people on floodplains and low lying areas are a small sacrifice to make. :rolleyes:

    No to the first(also reported) and no to the second. I am pointing out to you in a clearly necessarily remedial fashion that you have no argument. As we will see, it didn't work.

    There. It didn't work. you still think its tax.

    Your absolutely right...it's a small sacrifice to make. :rolleyes:

    It's a major sacrifice to demand billions for a few hundred people who are in trouble when a winter which is the windiest in 200 years comes along. The cost benefit analysis is simple.

    Ever thought of making adult arguments?

    Regrettably, that's certainly a possibility at this stage. Since the likelihood of constructive argument appears to have dropped to zero, I'm going to close the thread now.
