Ireland is reliant for 3% of its energy from Russia apparently, why guaranteed blackouts?
Seems to be a bit of secondary concern on diesel but Europe looks to have found alternative sources of that quicker.

Depends on the household. Some could probably cut their use by 50% and not really notice I reckon.
Iād be more concerned about businesses going kaput and secondary impacts driving a recession at this point.
What happens when the wind doesnāt blow? How does that gap get filled do you mind me asking?
What happened last year when the wind didnt blow?
Supply was abundant then mate
How has our supply changed this year?
Look mate the whole.of europe has been told to cut back, lets just do that
Iām fairly sure data centres etc already had to have contingencies like generators and would be warned well in advance. Itās not a new thing and thereās always risks of it.
Not an expert by any means but 3% would seem manageable on the face of it. For Central and Eastern Europe they have more dependence. Price would seem to be more of an issue hereā¦
Itāll be a winter or Eirgrid update on capacity rather than NPHETās Covid numbers.
Stay Together rather than stay apart.
Eamon Ryanās latest policy, buy an electric car, then buy a petrol generator to charge it
If there are to be blackouts Iām told that your talking rolling 1hr events in different areas.
Whether thatās true or not is debatable
Would seem manageable enough tbh.
Prices for many wonāt be. Think people cutting back and government subsidies will get households by but not businesses.
Heās on the front of this weeks Donegal Democrat as well, giving out about the delay in appointing a manager for the county senior team.
Heās morphing into Bono with insights on everything.
Jim will want to ease back a bit, heās spreading himself thin hereā¦
They were told 18 months ago. They have tankers of kerosene going into them daily powering generators to supplement the electricity supply.
Can they power on and off grid that easily. Itāll cause big issues with businesses/manufacturing
It will be a major ball ache for SMEs. Powering servers/machines off willy nilly is not good.
He wasnāt in government at the time but like the other Twitter outrage celebs heāll get his engagement.
Heās calling a press conference tomorrow to tell us not to fill the kettle all the way if youāre only making one cup of tea.
Do people actually fill it all the way up?
turn the light off, wear a mask, get a jab, stay at home, house a refugee in the spare room, pay 500 pound a month for you esb, when is paddy going to grow a pair and tell these pricks in government to fuck right off
The lefty headbangers, green cultists, king of the midwit types (@Gman) dimwitt representative (@carryharry) and the rest who are denial of physical reality should read this thread. People suffering and dying due to cold and energy shortages this winter is because of an accumulation of so called green policies pursued over the last number of years, insane carbon rhetoric, covid lockdowns and idiots like @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy, @mikehunt and Eamonn Ryan who gleefully cheer this madness on. I genuinely canāt get over how stupid āgreen energyā supporters are.
