"Green" policies are destroying this country

The end of abundance for who?

Not for China

Not for India

Why don't they just spell it out instead of being vague,

Is there going to be a lack of abundance of materials and land for the well off or is going to be the working Joe's?

What exactly does this NWO Look like,

Are the Americans going to give up there massive consumer habits?

As I have pointed out these events have occured since time began so we will agree to disagree . The use of fossil fuels like the use of the horse and cart will naturally wain when a better solution is found. The solutions being pushed upon society by the greens fall way of the mark and will cause more problems than solutions in the long run. Do you really want the oceans full of wind mills ?? Land not used for food production but hectares of solar panels ?? Crazy stuff

Newstalk this morning consisted off 1. Why one off housing shouldn't be allowed 2. How to build our future towns ( 3 greenies on telling us how rural Ireland is the problem ) 3. Why hunting needs to be banned. Green agenda driven down your throat with no balance given, you have to question the motive and who is funding it

Will have to go back and listen to it but anyone who doesn’t see one-off housing and the Legislation that allowed it as a massive issue is walking around with their eyes closed.

The centres of our towns and villages are being abandoned and becoming derelict. As this happens the town boundaries are actually spreading out further, with poorly designed housing estates along the edges and then one-off housing beyond that for miles and miles. The new “centres” are the crap, over priced petrol stations that have sprung up on the outskirts of these dying towns, that everyone has to drive to. All while the actual historic centre gets boarded up and deserted.

disagreeing with One-Off housing is not an attack on rural Ireland. It is an attack on Planning legislation (or lack of) that fails to protect our existing settlements and has bizarrely promoted the car in its place.

I would not see it the kind of guarantee you would take to the bank and hope for a good reception.

It`s again more hope than anything based on gas taking us out of a hole if the wind doesn`t blow, where there is a European shortage of gas, our gas supply is unsecure, we have no gas storage of any significance, he is still opposed to LNG and greens have banned exploration. That is where green policy has us and Ryan`s been in the driving seat on energy for the past +2 years so the buck stops with him. After yesterday I doubt there will be any sympathy for him from FF on that score.

Call me and old cynic, but I find it more than just sheer coincidence that after keeping quite on Robert Troy (not that I have any sympathy for him) Ryan choose yesterday to throw him under the bus. I imagine there are quite a few in the FF parliamentary party looking at Michael Martin this morning thinking "And you are the eejit that stood up and gave Green Junior Minister Joe O`Brien a dig out on Catherine Martin`s arrogance on flying business class".

again, the greens are only a minor part of the government, most of our energy problems have been known for years, long before the current government, i.e. this isnt just a greens failure, but multi party, multi government failure.....

im failing to see your logic here, how is this poster arguing against capitalism?

Half of the country live in rural areas and the horse has well and truly bolted on that one . The infrastructure regarding electricity, roads etc is already there so why not let someones son or daughter build a house at their own expense rather than go on to our ever expanding housing waiting list. It makes no sense to fulfill all to fulfill another green dream, there are people getting refused planning up and down the country now due to common sense not being applied. If I have a field at the back of me with existing electricity, sewage, roads and broadband why should my son or daughter not be allowed build and live there ?

These events have happened, but at nowhere near the rate they are happening now

We are in a shifting climate, the old records are tumbling almost everywhere at the same time.

That is unprecedented in recorded history.

(and we're only at the start of climate change, 1.2c warming out of a likely 3c warming if we get to 560ppm of CO2)

Who's funding it?

Obviously it's the foxes who have gotten together to form a hedge fund so they can pay the Greens to turn rural Ireland into a fox utopia

The poster said:

Consuming is getting more expensive for everyone everywhere. That’s just a fact. And if it slows down consumption then that is a good thing.

So the poster wants to slow down consumption which is in direct contradiction with capitalism which wants to sell more products to more people to create more profit which creates more wealth.

See the logic now?

Most probably big renewable energy companies whom your eyes are the saviour but more realistic are the new version of shell oil etc.

Even if Eamon Ryan had commissioned a LNG terminal on the Day Russia invaded Ukraine, that terminal wouldn't have been operational by this winter.

The Shannon LNG terminal has been held up in planning and the courts long before ER became the energy minister

The investors tried to cut corners by not doing the necessary environmental impact assessments, and the EU commission agreed that these needed to be conducted and they eventually abandoned the proposal because of falling prices for Gas that made their project commercially unviable. All of this happened under governments not controlled by the green party.

In 2017 in response to Brexit, the project was dug up and revived, but the planning permissions had lapsed and they still hadn't done the necessary environmental assessments and they were challenged in court because they don't comply with EU habitats directive

Long story short, if FF and FG and Labour environment ministers couldn't get this through in over a decade of trying, how is Eamon Ryan responsible for not having an LNG terminal in place by this winter?

I never said you did. I said that nobody here, no matter how many times they have been asked has given a figure as to how much more renewables greens want thrown at the problem and how much that will cost. So far the most memorable answer has been "Have faith"

I presume you expecting another poster to answer your question on the cost of his suggestion means you have the answer. Yes/No ?

The investors tried to cut corners by not doing the necessary environmental impact assessments.... Lol the bloody greens want to fast track every wind solar plant through planning , do you see the irony ?
