"Green" policies are destroying this country

I see the problem: John Gibbons a known contributor to a smear site founded by Ross Gelbspan and James Hoggan. He is an activist masquerading as a journalist. I've covered his form in another thread previously.

So now they are the answer are they ?

Hardly a wet week ago you were cheering on a one man and his dog protest in Tynagh in Galway to prevent them being built

Now if Eamo would also stop acting the fool and do something about ensuring energy security for such plants rather than hand-sitting or shooting of his big gob attempting to make it worse we might be getting somewhere.

That reminds me of a slogan often used here by a poster before being eventually shown the door, Brokenangel "If it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck ......."

What’s the point in building gas power stations if you potentially have no gas for them?

You seem to keep missing this point? Or rather keep missing it on purpose- but hey ho that’s par for the course with you.

You still haven’t addressed the real price per KWH of wind when you include gas backup for when the wind doesn’t blow.

So just another of your ornamental meaningless post so.

There are powerful people and institutions, state and otherwise, the media and most political parties who push the Green agenda. Some would call that an almost perfect fascist state of affairs.

Somewhat overlooked in all this is what the 2008 global financial crisis did to the globalists' tactic after all the horrific news about the way that world operates. They found out that, by supporting the Green agenda they could get state contracts, widen their political network and create a powerful feel good factor to drive down the negatives from the crisis. The same goes for everything Woke. Since Twitter is the main pusher of politicians into a particular direction, they hedged their bets. It is advertising in optima forma.

So, we have a far left middle class badly educated by the boomer generation, most of the media pushing this plus a cabal of mainly very wealthy globalists, an elite if you will, with connections to most politicians who mainly watch where the wind blows from and are easily swayed or bought/transferred to certain positions even if things turn out desastrous. Education, science corrupted, untrustworthy institutions, and enemies (Trump, Putin) to fight.

If you ignore the particulars it looks like the Weimar republic from where im standing.

You have a wierd sense of humour

Your biggest criticism of him is that he cannot perform miracles.

But are any of his arguments wrong?

You forgot to address that while you were poisoning the well

Lol. If you're worried about prices you should want as little gas as possible. Gas as a backup instead of a primary source means we need much less gas

Before you go off on a rant about the EU energy pricing policy, that can, and most likely will, be changed at the stroke of a pen to make gas much less attractive for investment adding to the gas industry more cuts to its death by 1000 cuts

Decoupling gas prices from energy prices wil mean voters will demand faster rollouts of renewable energy and renewable generation will be able to undercut gas generation

These are specialist turbines that are designed for backup and peak shaving allowing us to shut off the older less efficient power stations which reduces our reliance on gas

Nobody seriously believes we'll run out of gas in Ireland. If we throw enough money at it, we'll be able to source gas

Ireland won't have a single supply driven blackout this winter

“If we throw enough money at it we’ll be able to secure gas.”

Ffs! Why don’t we put the money into our own LNG terminal or CNG tanks or barryroe or the extension to corrib exploration?

Rubbish.

He is being forced into doing it because too many conventional energy plants were scaled back or shut down on the basis that renewables would fill the gap and they have failed to do that.
