"Green" policies are destroying this country

You asked what natural gas was found in the last 50 years and even after all the finds were listed - you now ask "what Ireland is going to find after 50 years"? lol

Well I guess despite after having up to 58% of all our natural gas needs already being supplied by our own natural gas field over those 50 years, the question is what will our natural gas resources be now?

The answer is Nothing, Nada, Neichts, Zero. And that despite the fact that there are natural gas finds remaining untapped of the south coast which it is estimated could provide up to 60% of our Electricity generation needs.

But why is that? Because the green party here have repeatedly sought to end the exploration of natural gas resources as part of their Green Party policy and Programme for Government and have recently succeded in doing so. Capiche?

And yes you compare Ireland to Denmark, NZ and France and yet bizarrely no-one can mention the poster child which was Germany (until recently held up by the greens as an example of what Ireland should be doing). Now the Germans have seen the reality of the situation they're in, they have finally copped on. Something the greens here haven't for sure. Maybe be like the Germans for a change eh?

Knock knock? Hello? Have you being paying attention at all?

That is other than you repeatedly and incorrectly claiming that Ireland had none of its own natural gas resources and then later trying to bizarrely claim that those resources were "tiny" despite our natural gas resources actually providing up to 58% of all natural gas needs in the last 50 years?

"So at least we have confirmed it is correct to stop exploration because after 50 years. So we can close that down as a good move by the greens."*

No you have not "confirmed" it was correct to stop exploration at all

The fact it's a grossly fcuking stupid idea at a time when Ireland more than ever needs a safe, secure and dependable source of natural gas to help stabilise the inherent problems of renewable energy generation in this country

So now the inconvenient facts are all out there, you want to change the subject from one of the most important issues under discussion to something else because it doesn't suit you? Or it shows the green party for what it is?

Btw I'll stop mentioning Germany when you stop mentioning Denmark, NZ and France or wherever suits your various odd arguments.

* You may wish to use Google translate again as that comment really makes no sense at all. But no matter

As true as this is, I don't think even the US military think that they'll be able to bomb climate change into submission

Rambling on about energy?

You mean one of the single most important issues of our time? Ah ok.

So far your many of your comments have included wholescale misinformation or exhibited a strange lack of knowledge of amongst other things energy and Green Party policy

Now I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that maybe language comprehension might be an issue (frankly I don't know), but there's is absolutely no way on this earth, you could not know that Ireland has its own resources of natural gas and that that those resources have contributed a significant proportion of the natural gas used in electricity generation here. This information is in the public domain and easy to find, and yet you have repeatedly denied, ignored, deflected and obfuscated those basic facts.

Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying you're a Gazprom agent but fuq me they couldn’t do any better.

Then there's the constant gate keeping within the thread. Allow me to detail.

"Maybr you should go live in Germany you seem so obsessed about it "

"If you want to discuss Sinn Fein I suggest you head over to that thread"

"I am sure we already had this discussion on another thread."

"Any chance you have actually any other Green policies to discuss? or you still stuck on the energy discussion?"

"That’s it, if you want to discuss Germany renewal maybe start a Thread on them, just an idea. They have no relevance"

And that's certainly not discussion eitherway.

But what about but what about but what about but what

But what about but what about but what

You need to read what was written

Energy..."one of the single most important issues of our time"

But yes without a secure, reliable and dependable source of energy water pumping or treatment of same cannot be guaranteed

Without a secure, reliable and dependable source of energy a programme of house building cannot be pursued

And I won't go through the entire list.

Agreed.

however to clean water and make it potable do we not need energy to do this? (Barring a mountain stream which obviously won’t supply a city for example)

That's what they want, luddite, puritanical backward society with little or no civil rights.

Dystopia is the Green dream

This particular company are focusing on small city cars like the fiat 500 and because they're only fitting 16kwh of batteries (by replacing the fuel tank with batteries) the range is about 100km.

Insurance should not be an issue as the conversion packs will have been approved and certified as safe and roadworthy within the EU

I'm not sure how fast it can charge

They're planning on shipping the first kits in Q1 2023

just to add to what you've said there. The very odd thing about the whole green party policy on energy is that what they've done with regards to banning all natural gas exploration, is that it goes against their own energy policy

As detailed on their website.

"Energy efficiency and conservation are key to the transformation to a lower carbon society. We must ensure that we can provide our country with reliable, economically competitive energy, and where possible we must endeavour to source our energy from our own renewable resources, reducing our reliance on imported energy."

By ending the exploration of natural gas resources the green party are infact increasing the country's reliance on imported energy. Especially where it is recognised that natural gas is now essential to help stabilise issues regarding renewable energy generation.

I simply can't get my head around the stupidity of it all.
