  1. The pharmas are building this because of the high cost of electricity.

    This is a scandal

  2. wind turbines look good though, i dont know why everyone is against them

    • Agreed, I like wind turbines and the noise from them is far what some people make them out to be

  3. Bring back flogging!

    Oh wait, turbines to reduce our dependence on imported fuels and energy?

    No problem with that.

    Especially if it can be used to power electric flogging machines.

    • You’re missing the point of Broadsheet replies – and indeed of being Irish – we’re agin everything and everyone who caused all our problems (except ‘we the people’ ‘cos it’s not our fault) and we’re agin anything that may help to solve them (including renewable energy and pharma jobs).
