"Green" policies are destroying this country

Here is what "green" propaganda shows you.

Here is what they don't show.

You clearly know nothing about my views, but thanks for the stereotype. The post to which I was replying was about our tourism industry, which is currently being destroyed.

I would have more time for the open border brigade if they would admit that most international applicants are economic migrants who are here in search of a better life, whether that be through generous welfare, free housing and free medical care or by other means.

Fossil fuel subsidies will come as a surprise to consumers who face taxes and charges of approx 70% on the price at the pump - of course politicians who impose these taxes can claim generous mileage allowances, which are not available to the ordinary punter, but they are still supposed to suck it up;

Another way of looking at it is that if the tax on fuel was halved, demand might rise by ~5% in my view, as most travel is non-discretionary

I'm not a single issue person though. I can actually have multiple perspectives on many different issues. I know, it's crazy right.

Oil and Gas are price takers and are at the whims of the markets but you know that and it's not news to you.

I've criticised the price of oil and gas plenty. I think it's outrageous that the price of gas was so high last year off the back of Ukraine/US blowing up the Nordstream pipelines.

You believe the renewable auctions were rigged? Can you explain how you believe this was done? Have you reported your findings to the Garda?

Where did I mention i believed they were rigged ?

These auctions are based on a plan that nobody can give even the initial CapEx for, or come to that the OpEx costs for even before Ryan decided they would be paid for their produce even if it isn`t used.

Both of those determine what the end cost to the consummer will be. Do you not think that the consummer has a right to know what is being pledged in their names and which they will be footing the bill for ?

As nobody else has been able to do so perhaps you would like to have a go ?

No one is worried. People are pointing out that they are here to make money. And make it they will by firstly availing of as much government funding as possible, including contracts to be paid for what they produce even if no one uses it, and then cream consumers on top of that thanks to them paying gas prices for wind/solar power

This is another similarity with established religions of the past. An attempt to be condescending and appear superior to other mere plebs who don't buy into their ideology enough.

Gas isn't going anywhere. We'll always need some for a backup. Perhaps in time hydrogen will be in place but that is 10/15+ years away going by one of your link dumps yesterday. Until then, we'll subsidise companies to build and generate power, we'll buy the power even if it's not needed and we'll pay them a unit rate based on gas.

We buy power from renewable at a fixed price that isn't always needed, not gas

In the past Farnell would ship me stuff to Ireland from their Leeds warehouse by flying it via Germany. Guessing someone has crunched the numbers and decided having an Irish warehouse was a non-starter.
