"Green" policies are destroying this country

Simple. I have asked the same question and you have ducked, dived, deflected and refused to answer each time. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but that's fine if you refuse to answer. I've no problem with that now I know that. But don't ever try and accuse me or anyone else of doing what your clearly doing.

Good coverage of some of the horrendous environmental issues with Renewable energy generation via solar detailed in this article

"A major new study of the economics of solar, published in Harvard Business Review (HBR), finds that the waste produced by solar panels will make electricity from solar panels four times more expensive than the world’s leading energy analysts thought. “The economics of solar,” write Atalay Atasu and Luk N. Van Wassenhove of Institut Européen d'Administration des Affaires, one of Europe’s leading business schools, and Serasu Duranof the University of Calgary, will “darken quickly as the industry sinks under the weight of its own trash."

"Conventional wisdom today holds that the world will quadruple the number of solar panels in the world over the next decade. “And that’s not even taking into consideration the further impact of possible new regulations and incentives launched by the green-friendly Biden administration"

"By 2035,” write the three economists, “discarded panels would outweigh new units sold by 2.56 times. In turn, this would catapult the LCOE (levelized cost of energy, a measure of the overall cost of an energy-producing asset over its lifetime) to four times the current projection.”

Lol. Come on DaCor you can do better than that. You do realise that these "reports" are in effect the lobbying of a small number of dyed in the wool campaign groups such as Friends of the Earth and Global Witness yes?

Paper won't refuse ink. And while they're lobbying lot may have made the paper - it doesn’t mean that they have a clue what the on about.

Of course they are against natural gas exploration and LNG and much like a small number of advocates here seem to think that the gas pipeline to Moffat in Scotland is going to be just dandy for the next 30 years or so. Even though the North Sea natural gas fields on which the supply depends is running out and that the UK in turn will have to import most of its natural gas from an increasingly scarce and expensive supply in Europe?

The same lot who have told the Oireachtas Committee on Environment and Climate Action today that "any move to fast-track the development of LNG terminals in Ireland could heap more costs on Irish households". Where the fck do this lot think that reliance on a single source in the UK is going to do for householders the way things are going both in Europe and globally? They have their heads firmly stuck in the sand and evidently don't give a fiddler's for what people will have to pay in the future as long as they get what they want.

Its not far off it tbh, but it's never going to be 100 times cheaper to run a BESS plant as it is today, but then it doesn't need to be BESS just needs to get competitive with Gas and it's already not too far off it.

Of course you're not going to like the article, it shows the idiocy of those who support solar manufacture without question the real impact of solar equipment manufacturing and dumping

But perhaps more importantly considering your recent replies to my queries, you certainly don't seem to know what "proof is. But to quote you there I reckon that doesn't mean someone somewhere is "getting paid a lot or ... is just an idiot"

It was posted around half 9 this morning

So back to "inferring" it's all a big conspiracy lol. Got it 😅

As for.

"inferring meaning that was never state"

So you now claim lol. Sure whatever walks like a duck, sounds like a duck and you'll generally find it's a duck.

Your bizarre ranting about the thread title, spuds and wheat, in response to a comment about specific issues of Renewable energy generation was most certainly a different issue and complete whataboutery. And you already know that.

What happens to all the heat pumps in social housing etc when people on pay as you go electricity meters don’t top up?

Me thinks if it’s anyway cold the heat pumps are goosed.

No need to waste your time telling us that Banana. The spoofers were spotted a long way back. They are those dwindling few that ignore inconvenient truths and refuse to answer pretty much anything they are asked, and they just keep adding to the evidence every day.

Would I be correct Da that a trawl through these people who you are more or less attempting to put forward as an independent group with no dog in the fight would find more than a few with connections to the Irish Green party and have agendas that are mirror images of the Irish greens ?

Many of the holes in what they have said have already been highlighted here. But like here, from that submission, no attempt made to recognise those problems and deal with them other than the same old gazing way off into the future while ignoring the realities staring them in the face.
