"Green" policies are destroying this country

Top of the morning!

Nuclear France - 70g https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/FR

Wind Ireland - 493g

Yes that’s 143MW out of 6300MW wind doing **** all of anything when we need 5826MW this morning

when we build another 37GW (at a cost of hundreds of billions every 25 years) we still be fucked because something multiplied by nothing is still nothing

In meantime there is not a single day of year when we are greener than nuclear wasteland that is France

How many aluminium and steel cans does one need for a single windmill?

oh let’s see

—-

A single 3-MW wind turbine needs:

• 335 tons of steel
• 4.7 tons of copper
• 1,200 tons of concrete (cement and aggregates) [~600 yards]
• 3 tons of aluminum
• 2 tons of rare earth elements
• aluminum
• zinc
• molybdenum

37,000 of offshore wind would require 12,333 3MW turbines

we would have to recycle form now until the heat death of the universe to build this nonsense every 25 years at a cost of hundreds of billions and still need gas and coal for long stretches of time

Barakh nuclear plant in UAE (which hilariously is hosting COP) took 24.4$ billion to build by Koreans on time and budget and is on area about 800m per square side most of which is car parks

one of these would power the country unlike the 6.3GW of wind which has carpet bombed our countryside and is literally doing next to nothing today

By getting the green numpties to follow their comrades in other EU countries and embrace nuclear instead of continuing to agitate against modern science and technology

Even St Greta has seen the light Cherenkov radiation

"green numpties" what are you talking about?

The issues in Ireland is around planning as I have pointed out numerous times. Plus you have not a single party in Ireland running based on nuclear. Quit with this nonsense posting about greens etc and ignoring the actual issues.

There used to be a time when much bigger issues in Ireland such as abortion, divorce and gay marriage were taboo subjects

until they were not

But the fact remains, the self confessed “environmentalists” on this thread repeatedly argue against nuclear science and technology as it would actually help solve climate change (can’t have that as then they would be exposed for cow hating numpties they are) unlike their uncosted ultra expensive fantasies about carpet bombing our country and seas with unreliable wind generators and non existent hydrogen storage and transport tech (also uncosted)

What did I say, ignore the question and go off on some ramble about I actually don't know what.

This is just nonsense. If you read my posts I have said we should cull the national herd. I didn't say anything about SUV apart from most SUV's are not SUV and crossovers.

I am stating facts about nuclear. Yet all we get back is these rambling posts from the same few calling people "eco warriors" or whatever word they seen today on X as if that is a proper way to debate a topic.

What has covid got to do with anything? more nonsense

So again, maybe you can answer this time, which party in Ireland is running based on nuclear power?
