"Green" policies are destroying this country

Baotou is the global capital for rare earth elements - metals that are vital to modern technology and especially renewable energy.

rare earths are vital to the transition towards green energy

Countries should "make sure that the urgency of needing to acquire these raw materials in order to build our way out of fossil fuel dependence isn't used as a mechanism to undermine democratic decisions and collaborative design," Prof Klinger says.

green energy my arse ! so in your magical world rare earth elements are NOT essential to the greeen agenda ? a simple yes or no will suffice and none of your deflection tactics .....

Yup incorrect and as you would say you were "ranting and raving"

Ironically the only one regularly going around telling others to "cop on" is yourself

Seriously Broken you were absolutely and completely factually wrong when you tried to claim that a State owned LNG terminal was not being considered.

At least put your hands up and admit that. Otherwise you're comments here are little better than the tantrums of a three year old .

And repeating about yourself "I can't help" (which is plausibly true tbf) really does not help your argument one bit.

And as many posters here have indeed pointed out, you've lost all credibility with regards to your comments in this thread.

What gives?

So according to you multiple posters across two completely different threads are all wrong.

And the many posters pointing out that you repeatedly fail to answer any question regarding your comments are also all wrong. And you're the only one claiming that?

May I quote you in your last comment.

Cop yourself on.

Lol.

Here's Brokenangel recent comments "discussing" posters

Then hillariously attempting to appoint blame to others. Sure

Exhibit A:

@brokenangel "Yes I agree it is strange that a number of posters across government thread only have an issue with repeating the same question and ignoring the answer provided. You could blame me but then again multiple people across both threads have pointed out this issue.

And another.

@brokenangel "It been discussed by a few anti government posters. The same posters who spent all day yesterday discussing the Orange Order on the thread . Nothing about the proposal for 5 days off for employee etc."

Considering the issue at hand is you refusing to engage in honest discussion on this thread, there's just way too much irony there. We're going to need an awful big magnet 🧲 shortly

But back to the topic at hand. Are you going to admit you were wrong when you made the following claim as I have already shown is incorrect.

@brokenangel "you are the only person in the entire World talking about the Irish government building their own LNG terminal? Something which has never been an option and never will be."

You posted

"are you going to post about a topic?"

And I replied

@brokenangel "you are the only person in the entire World talking about the Irish government building their own LNG terminal? Something which has never been an option and never will be."

So looks like there's no answer yet. So I'll ask again same question.

Btw don't try the "I've answered already / read the thread" type nonsense. You're comments have been already called out many by many posters on boards for that rubbish

Well things in the Green Party are getting hairier and even more bizarre than ever.

Not only is Mr Ryan currently inexplicably stonewalling the Oil and Gas field at Barryroe, all the while winging in new proposals to ban the sale or gifting of turf in rural Ireland, and interfering with the planning process for the new Shannon LNG terminal all supposedly to save the environment

This week however he's got himself into extra hot water by handing out prospecting licenses for gold and silver mining in North Leitrim, the environment be damned

From the Leitrim Observer

Treasure Leitrim member and one of the group's spokespersons, Jamie Murphy, said “we are shocked by the decision of Eamon Ryan to issue prospecting licenses to this carbon heavy, energy intensive extractive industry

So the same guy who won't allow the people of Ireland have access to untapped resources providing for a safe, secure and reliable source of natural gas in years to come, along with necessary LNG infrastructure amongst other things, has decided in his wisdom that it would be a good idea to hand out prospecting licences for an industry which is anything but environmentally friendly

When will be rid of these fools in the green party?

3 2 1

I'm not interested in politics myself but the green policies are just too much all at once. Like an addict or a compulsive gambler they thrown everything in and they never think of moderation or going in slowly and carefully. There's no logic to their proposals.

Don't believe in the hype or fear mongering.

I've observed the lack of bird life and changes in bat populations around their wind farms, and is very alarming. The bees are not pollinating the flowering shrubs such as gorse and heathers etc.

The greens are about green energy,they have no interest in flora and fauna.

We need an opposition party who'll be more inclined to look after the environment and the land and waterways rather than destroy habitat's and that humming off those windfarms is noise pollution, let alone the amount of diesel and fossil lubricants needed for maintenance and running them.

Ah yes I've heard that after a new found interest in the mining of gold and silver in North Leitrim - they now want to be known as the "Banking Party" and are dropping all this ol' green stuff altogether 🤑 Or maybe not 🤔
