"Green" policies are destroying this country

Sadly no. The corruption by experts is real.

More data tampering that got exposed later in hide the decline.

You made unsubstantiated allegations against the South Koreans and "slave labour"

I made no claims as to who the Koreans employed or didn't employ rather I questioned anothers allegations about North Korea and slave labour. Therefore YOU get to back up the unsubstantiated allegations you made or once again you lose all credibility as a poster.

And yes the extract you quoted about human rights in UAE. Here it is.

According to human rights organisations, the government of the UAE violates a number of fundamental human rights. The UAE does not have democratically elected institutions and citizens do not have the right to change their government or to form political parties. Activists and academics who criticize the regime are detained and imprisoned, and their families are often harassed by the state security apparatus.

Not a word in that about slave labourers or the South Koreans as you have insinuated.

I know the general idea of throwing **** - that at least some will stick if you repeat it. Fortunately that does stand up here.

As for this bit of puerile nonsense

"Ah I see you're back to reading and comprehension issues"

So again the mealy mouthed personal comments regarding other poster's "reading and comprehension issues". Stock Reply # 102.

Again from previous comments of yours in reply to other posters

"people are ruining every discussion because they have serious problems with reading and comprehension"

"you seem to struggle with reading and comprehension on all my posts.

You have a serious issue with comprehension. I cannot fix that. Maybe contact the mods and ask them to help you

Stay classy broken, stay classy.

When did I say the green party didn't object nuclear

Did you read my comment?

This is what you said

How the hell do you think they are stopping nuclear?

And I provided proof that not only were the greens in Opposition fighting the then Minister Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources Alex White over nuclear power in Ireland, but they were also busy teaming up with the British and Welsh Greens making representations to the EU, in an attempt to block the building of a Nuclear Power Station in the UK as it would have required a large investment of public money, with the plan as detailed to stop or delay the project and have it investigated under the EU's state aid rules.

I borrowed this because it looks better here 🤣

You need to be careful of laughing at yourself broken lol!.

This will give some a giggle, the Article Title, too funny 😆

If your link shows anything it`s that at 43% in favour of nuclear and 43% against with 15% don`t knows it`s that it strengthens the posters point that it is time we had a mature discussion on nuclear in this country.

Especially when the largest group in favour is the 18-24 year olds where poll after poll show they are the age group most concerned about climate change.

The comment you jumped on which I sought clarification was about North Korea using Slave labour in the UAE. You picking up those allegations and running with them shows the ridiculous contrarian nature of your comments. And btw you quoted one of your other comments to another poster. Not your comment to me.

This was from your comment to me. And I quote. "Building a load of plants using slave labour shouldn't be a goal Ireland wants to achieve"

And that's bull manure because it doesn't even make any sense.

And again Broken you repeatedly attacking posters by making personal comments about their "reading and comprehension issues" amongst other things and that being pointed out by reply is not (as per your stock reply # 103) others "attacking you. You shouldn't be surprised where posters call you out on that crap. Trying to play the victim doesn't wash either I'm afraid.

So to return to the discussion. There is one question you must have missed. So again.

do you believe the EU policy on the use of safe, secure and reliable source fossil fuels (during the period of transition to renewable energy generation which includes imported LNG and the use of European natural gas) is wrong?

I find this thread very informative when it comes to information. The biggest problem is with some ignoring it or attempting to misrepresent it.

From the link you posted, based on that poll then as the OP pointed out it is time for all parties to have a re-think on nuclear as they are out of step with public opinion. Perhaps the Green party in particular seeing as of the 43% in favour, the age group most in favour are the 18 -25 year olds who are not just poll after poll shown to be the age group most concerned over climate change, but the age group from which the Green Party received their highest vote percentage in the last general election.

Unfortunately the vagaries of the democratic system does not mean you have to be a major player to influence policy. The Green Party proposals were rejected by the vast majority of the voting public, but we ended up with a dog without a tail. The Green Party provided that tail, but only after getting a commitment that to form a government they would be allowed to wag that tail on policies that had already been rejected by the voters.

So no, if the cards fall in your favour you do not need to be a major player to dictate policy.

i think that poster has provided plenty of informative material on this thread-unlike yourself.

It would be interesting to see how many votes the Green Party would get if the general public realised that we will be dependable on fossil fuels for 81.3% of our total energy needs (from the Green Party policy document you posted) all the while the GP is directly blocking exploration licences and holding up development of barryroe, therefore making us solely dependant on the Moffat lines for gas post 2025.

The GP either don’t know about corrib coming to and end soon, or are happy enough to put our energy needs in the lap of a non EU country.

Which is it I wonder 🧐
