"Green" policies are destroying this country

Tbh I think you are totally wrong on what the greens are. I am actually of the opinion that the greens have an agenda to achieve there aims which borders on totalitarianism and they don't give a fiddler's of the consequences. They would destroy the economy in the morning if they thought it was for the greater good. Eamon Ryan is actually the most sensible of the lot and that's saying a lot !

You can't put a price on Eamo's happiness though. Imagine his grin as he walked around COP27 telling all and sundry about his 30GW offshore plan. That alone is worth every penny we will pay for it with.

Until the next Republican led administration you mean?

Every policy in the US has a maximum shelf life of about 18 months. Thats it. Then big oil will be back in the driving seat again.

Lose in what way exactly?

The supreme court can't set policy. I'm not sure what teeth the climate action bill actually has but what is the mechanism for the SC telling the government what to do?

You are very poor on figures and it seems comprehension is also a problem. I said "if" ICE`s were banned in the morning. But then 2030 is not a million years away either and along with these 1 million EV`s It`s also the year when the sale of new ICE cars are supposed to be banned.

So is there a green plan to make up for the shortfall from ICE motorist tax revenue or not, or rather than do what they preach on user pays, the greens intend to piggyback off everyone via general taxation ?

Not that far away really when you see that all new diesel and petrol car sales are to be banned by 2030 as well as those 1 million E.V`s on the road.

I have shown you where ICE motorists not only pay income tax and vat, but also pay a further €4.5 billion annually, with €2.8 billion of that directly related to road usage whereas neither cyclist or EV motorists sfa tax related to road usage.

Buy an EV. Have you seen the green favoured 30GW offshore plan ? Based on that I would need to buy a team of horses to pull it with the price that would cost to charge it. The ESB have already increased the cost by 50% even without that proposed insanity.l

How many times does it have to be pointed out to you that CapEx costs are going up not down with the price of turbines set to increase unless you expect those manufacturing them to continue doing so at a loss. Vestas has been selling at 8% below below cost, Siemens Gamesa lost close to €1 Bn this year and effectively has gone bust and General Electric has loses of $2 Bn.

And where are these back of the envelope figures for hydrogen CapEx, production, storage and distribution plus the associated CapEx for the required desalination plants and their operation costs ?

You do realise don`t you that even for the highly unlikely outcome of our strike price being the same as the U.K. for offshore resulting in that Wind + your back of an envelope Hydrogen being £53 for the consumer that price is doubled, as nobody other than the consumer will be paying for all of the above, which would result in it being £106 compared to your example of £92.50 for nuclear.

You're spoofing again making up garbage about horses now. You claimed ev owners were freeloading and paying SFA, and now you're complaining it would cost you too much. Absolutely comical 🤣 Most cyclists also own a car so they do pay. Doesn't suit your silly agenda though so you just ignore that.

Clearly you're not a serious poster as you are continuously arguing strawmen and pure nonsense that nobody mentioned. Waste of time. 👍
