gratuitous in the extreme between 2 college buddies
" we are both chemical engineers Pat..."

The super grid idea will only work amongst economic and military equals and ignores:
the reality that being on the geographic hind tit of europe, we cannot rely on the brits and the frogs and the krauts to pass our power requirement on to us, under "legally binding commercial contracts" if there is a shortage.

I suppose our M for D will point a gun at them:)

By voting yes for the eu constitution we will have even less input in europe so it is time to either emigrate or build the nuke station on the shannon and start farming blinky's, now that we have given away our fishing fleet.

A charmingly worded post.

You are missing the point – energy trade is a two-way street – Ireland exports and imports the power – and as green energy production scales up, Ireland will have a lot more power to export than it needs to import.

As it stands, virtually all of Ireland’s electrical energy comes from extremely unstable parts of the world.

Whatever about Britain, France and Germany both share a modern codified legal infrastructure which incorporates very strong provisions on the enforcement of contractual obligations and this provides great certainty to all contracting parties.

One hopes that you are neither a racist nor someone who has a vested interest to protect in making a posting of this nature to what one would have thought was a simple thread intended to bring the radio interview to people's attention.

An unpleasant and purely political post against the EU and the forthcoming referendum.
