"Green" policies are destroying this country

Maybe you should realise you are not actually in a conversation or debate where reasonable arguments are put forward but instead in an imaginary court where it is a matter of attack and deflect. Also, nobody can stand being wrong or even admit error despite obvious non sequiturs. Logic can be weaponized or be stated in an alternate universe where laws are suspended and 2+2 does NOT equal 4. If you have a one sided and simple target and determined you cannot be in error then everything flies. It is beneficial to be narrow minded sometimes. Less energy spent on complexity.

So, i simply stop communicating with simpletons if the windows of opportunities keep being shut and put them on 'ignore'. I respect a solid argument, even a wrong one. But it requires a certain base level of intelligence and logic. There is a lot of ignorance out there, not all deliberate. Some just like to throw theirs in your face. That is where my tolerance ends..

Let me get this straight, you don't think one LNG terminal would be enough so your cunning plan is zero? I'd have thought that if you don't have enough you build more, not less. Germany built three last year alone, with three more in the pipeline. Even with costs doubling compared to initial estimates the price per terminal is much lower than the Celtic interconnector (whose cost will almost certain soar too, given that it's only on the drawing board). How long do you think it's going to take us to build 6GW worth of interconnectors? And how does it square with our plan to generate hydrogen for storage, which means we won't have any electricity for export?

Any evidence that we've passed peak production? The IEA forecasts peak oil production for around the end of this decade, but it is premised on peak demand not a limitation on supply.

We must be reading different threads. I haven't see any climate change denial on here. Clearly you are conflating disagreement with solutions policy with climate change denial. Don't worry, I understand, Greenies are congenitally incapable of distinguishing between the two. Of course the public are supportive -- they've been scared silly and are Grade A clueless about the costs coming down the tracks (which the Greens won't discuss).

So you implying that nokia and blackbery failed because they did not went for green ideas? I thought you were talking about getting stuck with old ideas and fail to which I pointed that pepsi or coca cola are stuck with old ideas like original recipes and such and still being strong. Them buying some EV trucks does not mean that is a cause of their success.

Exactly, it's full of 'wishy washy' aspirational questions designed to get maximum approval by those setting them. Take the question 'The cost of damages due to climate change are much higher than that needed for for investment in green transition'

76% of 'Irish people' (just how many did they ask and how did they select them) agree with this!! 76%!! Which is clearly patent nonsense as no one knows either the 'cost of damages due to climate change' and they certainly don't know what is the figure for 'investment in green transition'. It just a question based on sentiment and a test of public messaging across the media. You might as well ask Sean or Sinead Citizen if they prefer summer to winter. Or do they like cheap air flights even if there is an environmental cost - that'd be 76%!
