Europeans should turn down their thermostats by a degree to save on gas and reduce dependency on Russian imports, the world’s leading energy adviser has said
In Europe some people think we
Should help out to keep Ukraine free
And the way to do that
Is with your thermostat
Just turn the thing down one degree

Europe was a net exporter of gas until the Greens got their controlling hands on EU resource production which is why the EU is now a net importer of gas… Moist of which comes from Russia.
The logic being… EU is not producing gas so is “greener”.
Yet EU is still consuming it.
It’s a dumb stupid logic that is now being exposed as just that, stupid.
Build more nuclear, and get it done now.
Ireland is no different to the EU situation, with regard to the “oh we’re greener if we don’t produce it” bullpoo.
Ireland is heavily anti-niclear, yet, the plans for piping energy from French nuclear power plants is already in train.
Bullpoo! It’s all bullpoo! We should build our own. The tech is there for safer nuclear, its time to move past old world fear of nuclear.
If we can pipe nuclear energy all the way from France, why can’t we build a plant in one of our islands and pipe it from there.
Great comment Clamps. Totally agree.
The sooner Ireland comes to terms with the reality that nuclear power is the fastest and cleanest way to produce energy on the scale we will need to truly become independent of fossil fuels, the better.
Instead we get the usual Irish solution to a not-so-irish problem.
It’s a (Carn)sore point with some alright.
But, but, but … if, according to “£$%^&* Varadkar, the evil Russians will invade us so we must drop our neutrality and join the EU army then the evil Russians will set fire to our new nuclear reactors …
Well in fairness, Varadkar also thought the Welfare Cheats Cheat Us All campaign was a good idea.
Nuclear could be a good option, possibly, I don’t pretend to have the knowledge to know for definite.
But one thing I do know is this. If this country cannot build a cycle lane for children outside a school without an outcry of “MY FREEDOM IS BEING STOLEN!!” by certain parties, and almost every piece of infrastructure built in the last 30 years is over budget/time/subject to endless legal actions from wealthy objectors and assorted nimbys…..then does anyone on this site genuinely believe that a nuclear power plant would be built in the next 50 years, even if it was agreed at a Government level today? 100 years?
