"Green" policies are destroying this country

I would expect the shady money to back wind while the other money should prefer Solar

We are at 1.2c of warming and already seeing enormous damage from severe flooding, droughts, heatwaves. The loss of coral reefs, the collapse of insect popukations, more extreme storms etc.

We're on the path to 3c of warming within this century.

We haven't seen anything yet.

You're like the fellah eating 5k calories a day saying 'it's fine, just some love handles'

We're on a path that will definitely lead to extreme climate change unless we make the decisions and investments ASAP to change our course

No new fossil fuel infrastructure, all of our resources should be used to transition as quickly as possible to carbon neutral sustainable energy and our economic activities need to be sustainable and stop externalising the environmental costs

Nuclear has a strong enough case that it is recognised by the E.U. as a transitional energy source along with natural gas. Both of which our green muppets are opposed to without having a single viable alternative. No strong case there for the Irish Green party by any metric.

Biomass certainly does not appear to be an attractive proposition for growers here. Even for the relatively small amount of it used as an energy source, according to the latest SEAI interim report 15% of it is imported.

Does it not tell you something perhaps about the unreliability of renewables that everyone is scrambling to get LNG ?

The LNG that the E.U recognises as a transitional energy source and is in negotiations with the U.S. to bulk buy where you like the rest of the green supporting geniuses are cheerleaders for banning as well as attempting to ignore that with Barryroe we might just have our own supply of natural gas, without any of you having a creditable alternative ? Shite talk indeed.

What is your big hang up with the cost of a LNG terminal ? By your metric we are going to invest 10 times that amount in 3 off-shore wind farms that unlike either natural or liquefied gas provide energy regardless of how much wind is blowing ?

Take a look at the coastline of Europe. Are you saying that for some unknown reason you are correct and all those countries that have LNG terminals, and are building more are incorrect ? Or that you are aware of something that Germany, the former poster country for Irish greens are unaware off in building two new LNG terminals and are also investing in floating LNG terminals ? Pretty much what our neighbouring country where 75% of our unsecure gas supply flows through are doing the same.

Does any of that even register with you that with an unsecure supply from a country whose own natural gas is becoming so depleted that they are importing the majority of their own needs that the muppets you are cheer-leading attempting to ban LNG and ignore our own possible supply of natural gas do not have a creditable alternative to keeping the lights on ?

Listen to a podcast that lasts, what, a half hour, and attempt to figure out from that what it is you are attempting to say and then get back to you.

Have you completely lost the plot ?

Qatar has known reserves of 600 times their present annual output. The U.S. has 98 years of known reserves.

It`s not information that is difficult to find yet some, either due to being too lazy or it doesn`t suit their agenda, insist on posting meaningless waffle as if their own vaguely expressed ideas somehow beat reality.

That 'paper' gets the basic science completely wrong

Probably why it's not in a peer reviewed journal

No moving goal posts and not spotting off in your direction for the fun of it. You posted what I felt was vague nonsense and when questioned on just more vague nonsense about a podcast.

If you do not wished to be questioned on vague nonsense then stop posting it.

In the real world our gas supply is secure enough. The risk of having our gas shut off temporarily in a hypothetical worst case scenario nothing compared to the certainly of climate change

Had you been attempting to prove you have no idea how the real here and now world works you could not have made it more obvious.

Nope

I could honestly care less how the U.K. gets their gas. I just found it comical a poster was trying to paint us as a user of Russian gas where following his logic, and usual lack of even basic research, the result would be our using LNG which he and the Irish Green Party are so opposed too.

Neither we or the E.U., similar to Russia, cannot control how the U.K. acts after their own nationalistic jingoism with Brexit and now their rumblings on another spat with the E.U. on the Northern Ireland Protocol. If you cannot comprehend that with the present energy crises then you have no comprehension of why our own regulator and the E.U. views us as regards energy security or why we need a LNG terminal

No I didn't

(See its easy to just assert things)
