"Green" policies are destroying this country

We've wasted more than enough time discussing the idea of Nuclear in Ireland, but certain posters on here want us to waste years and billions of euros on this fools errand, time and money that would produce far more energy if we focused them on renewable energy and interconnectors.

It's almost like there was some kind of strategy by certain interests to delay any action that can actually transition our economy away from fossil fuels

"I think we need to remind you again"

Lol looks like I touched a nerve there!

"We"? Who is this royal 'we'?

Yeah in this instance I'm not talking about other political parties policies , I'm clearly referring to the disaster zone which is the green party policies here.

So again you seek to limit and control the discussion because you don't like anyone making any criticism of the green Party policies here. Why is that?

But to reiterate the thread title is " Green policies are destroying the country" or have you forgotten again? And yup the green party policies fall under that umbrella.

How about for once discussing the topic at hand and not continously having a go at posters and or dictating what you think posters here should or should not be all permitted to comment on? Or indeed If you don't like the discussion there are many options. Telling posters what they can comment on isn't one of them!

Because people being in favour of something doesn't necessarily translate into that thing being a good idea worth pursuing. The government and many others have already investigated this and it's not practical for Ireland.

On the other hand, Offshore wind, which is something we are actually planning on implementing and we have significant natural advantages to work off, has 93% public support https://www.marei.ie/eirwind-offshore-wind-study/

Not at all. From the looks of it the discussion hasn't even started.

Of course you're entitled to your opinion about "fools errands". Oddly enough however, he only fool errands evident are those with the their heads firmly in the sand and who either bizarrely believe that a magical leap to 100% renewables can happen tomorrow or that we can do without a safe, secure and reliable source of energy in the period of transition to renewable energy generation. Especially when the rest of the world acknowledges that without that happening - much of green thinking on the topic is unicorn poop and fairy dust

Providing Ireland with a safe secure and reliable conventional source of non renewable energy unfortunately has been variously deflected and given the run around. We know that nuclear is one of the alternative solutions that could indeed offer a solution with increasing interest in nuclear and especially small scale nuclear energy generation and mounting calls from environmental voices to consider it

Ah so back to name calling. Classy. Btw there's no reference to any discussion of nuclear energy generation here in your wiki link

The current popular " useful idiots" btw are extremist green advocates who are determined to make sure not only will you not be able to turn in the lights but that there will be no lights to turn on!

There's you banging on about Barryroe share price and damming them to hell bizarrely again as if you had lost a fortune or something?

You do know that share prices can rise as well as fall yes?

You'll be therefore delighted to hear that Providence share price is on the rise ever since Mr Ryan got his finger out and the prospect of moving to fullscale production is now on the horizon.

Btw our government does not invest in exploration. Investment risk is borne by private investors unlike companies in the renewable energy sector who not only recieve direct subsidies from the public service levy but also recieve a guaranteed return regardless of demand. I strongly suggest you do a full root and branch look into some of these investment companies. I think you just might change your mind as to who the real chancers are.

So you now understand that where "All parties do indeed fall under this thread" that I was specifically referring to the green party's current policy on transport which you've previously brought up yes?

Which brings us to your question "Touched a nerve?" I see there's some difficulties there like the last time when the use of " didn't get the nemo" previously caused some hillarious confusion. But no worries. "Touched a nerve" is simply another idium which describes how someone can get needlessly upset in response to a subject that they are overtly sensitive about in your case it seems to be any criticism of green party policies.

And no your point that posters can only comment on certain topics or aspects of topics is not a valid one regardless of how many times you repeat it.

😅

Again the lack of apparent understanding how share prices work really is truly astounding. Indeed you may need to understand that share prices can rise and fall. And few investors would ever buy one share lol. They buy (or sell) multiples of shares - hence that's how investors can make (or lose) large amounts of money, where they buy shares when their cheap and sell them when they're dear!

With ER having inexplicably stonewalled the company for months over a decision on its Appraisal licence, its hardly surprising that the companies share prices were down from their previous high.

I guess Poor Eamon must be sobbing into his cornflakes to know that the overall trend for Providence shares prices is up. Though tbh I somehow doubt he's the only one who might be a little upset 😁

Plenty of people have mentioned the green party including you! However apparently no one else can mention them or offer any criticism lol.

And I replied in relation to your comments about Bicycles as a form of transport which if you remember is a major bugbear of Mr Ryans and one significant part of the green partys policy of which he is the leader! But perhaps not surprisingly you don't like that.

And its really not my fault if you don't understand commonly used idiums such as "didn't get the memo etc". But no bother
