    Is the agricultural sector not the giant elephant in the room?

    Meat farming has to be huge in Ireland, surely. Meat consumption is a huge contributor to climate change. I come from this background myself and eat meat regularly and so understand the difficulty involved in improving things here. A lot of people rely on dairy and meat farming for their livelihoods and the only way I see that changing is brave policymaking from the government which seems unlikely in tandem with a rise in people going vegan which seems much more plausible.

    No question farming is a part of our issues in terms of carbon but it is not as if we have to reach a state of zero carbon emissions.
    Clearly farming being so important to our economy we have to find ways to make things work overall so as to affect farming as little as possible. Having said that there is no excuse for us been so pathetic when it comes to renewables generating our energy. We need to get to 100% of our electricity coming from renewables asap. That should be a real priority at governmental level Fine Gale or not.

    With all the other potential renewable sources we have available to us here, do we really need nuclear?

    I would say no and of course there is thankfully no way that would even be a starter politically. But we need our government to take getting to 100% electricity from renewables as a priority and it needs to happen yesterday so to speak.
