i think the science about fossil fuels is fairly accecpted everywhere
they just got a 12bn loan for renewables mate- money isnt an issue, its whats best for the planet
renewables are better than gas for the enviroment - thats a given too
Whats going to replace the baseload? You can’t have 100% wind. Did the experts tell you that? Or did they ever tell you about the renewable fuel called biogas? Its magical its renewable coming from various sources including livestock farming (our beef farmers get an awful doing from green do gooders) compost landfill etc. But whats even better is biogas can be mixed with natural gas and utilitiize the same infrastructure. How would you feel about importing renewable energy in the LNG in 20 years when fossil fuels are phased out? Are you cutting your nose to spite your face by not having a dogs notion what your on about (green party not you in particular)
Wind Energy
photovaltaic Energy
Biomass Energt
we should be investing in these with an aim of 100% decrbonised energy asap
Turning off carbon will not be done over night. So you have big headline ideas but no substance or way to get to that point other than just stop. So here’s how it will happen, shut down coal and peat burning next 5 to 10 years, use natural gas and then phase in biogas 10 to 20 years. Keep majority wind/tidel engery for grid and to balance the frequency use the current/news gas infrastructure. Thats how we will go. Remember we still need to offset the use of oil for transportation to electricity so a massive increase in electricity production needed. So heres the question on the electric car, how you feel about nuclear?
Loads of nimbyism with biogas plants.
Job is oxo
Data centres and EVs will put some load on the grid.
Active travel is the solution to EVs
I’m all for green energy. But windmills are fucking disgusting blight on the countryside I predict we’ll be taking them all down in 15 years time.
Nuclear is the answer.
Out in the sea
More solar power as well.
Loads if companies now install with no upfront costs and the savings pay for it
I could live with them in the sea alright. I’m waiting for the greens to give me a grant for solar and then I’m in
There is a grant for solar already, you should.enquire as what you end up.paying for the panels is what you save on electricity
Look at mysolar.ie
