Are we heading for a fuel shortage?

What a bizarre thought. Criticising someone in political party that has been encouraging a reduction in the use of fossil fuels for our own short-term health and long-term environmental benefit! Perhaps if we had led dependency on fossil fuels, we wouldn’t be in the bind were are today?

“Encouraging” lol. He and his ilk have done fcuk all apart from load on even more taxes that just effect the worst off the most and make us all poorer. The so called Green Party are a disgrace. Sooner they are got rid of the better.

Probably getting to a point where people need to reduce non essential journeys- I haven’t really seen it. Since lockdowns ended I’ve found traffic to be mental

Bullshite. You want to go back to the Stone Age off you go. If you think piling taxes on already overtaxed essential fuels is going to “save the planet” then you are even thicker than your posts suggest.

taxation will be only one policy thats required to move us away from fossil fuels, but its clearly obvious, it alone wont work, states need to step up and make sure alternatives are easily available to all, in order to do so, we have yet to achieve this, we may not even know how to do it, but we better find out quickly, or...... we dont need to go back the way, we cant, a fossil fuel free future is a must, but alternatives must be functional and affordable....

That’s what people need to do if it makes a difference. Also kids being dropped to school and everywhere is a huge thing. Lots of them could walk or get buses.

I think his point has gone over your head! i.e. anyone who has a half hour walk to work should be walking all along and not just now because of a fuel difficulty,

Or massive amounts of wind we could use to produce green hydrogen that could be stored for when there’s no wind to be converted back to electricity and mixed with gas when needed.

It’d be great.

I honestly don't want to be fear mongering people but everything I said is a fact, People just have to think logically on what the result will be (in my opinion not good). I am mearly stating the facts reported so people that may not know about farming and how food produce is produced will be affected by a Maniac called Putin.

I ordered 800 litres kerosene with Naughtons (Annacotty Limerick ) on Fri 28th Feb (customer for over 11years) payment taken immediately & given delivery date of 5th Mar. All good until I got a call on 5th informing me I am no longer getting what I ordered & instead they would delivery 691 litres for same price. Appalled & disgusted at the way we are being treated. The only alternative being offered is a full refund as “they are unable to provide the service I paid for. Yet they are still supplying kerosene. I WILL NEVER USE OR RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY AGAIN…..

You're forgetting that climate change is a slow process, but for the last few decades it took speed. We currently are living unsustainable way so a planet is in danger. What you're saying is basically, ignore the problems we are creating now which will affect our children's life in future. But we need to act now, not to ignore and hope for the best leaving a bunch of problems for children. Sounds selfish and not well informed. We need to look forward and plan ahead, not just enjoy the goodies today and leave exhausted planet for future generations.

More likely to go on forever dole payment to long term layabouts unfortunately, rather than to the people who pay their way.

You're reacting too much emotional and irrational, putting your own needs in front without an understanding of the context. Their supply price changed and they need to increase your price too. Prices change drastically now. Better be happy they aren't increasing faster as in Russia nowadays where anything can cost more just within hours, not even days. Normally, if not the global crude oil price unpredictable increases, you'd be right, but not this time. Arguing for that when there's a war in the same continent is disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself.
