Propaganda rolls on. Meanwhile, turf fires still burn in the pubs.

Ireland has fewer people than the state of Tennessee.

I would love to be able to compare the cost per KW hour.

In the meantime, the CO2 reduction is so minimal it probably cannot be measured.

Build nuclear electric generators, not wind farms.

All those wonderful “Irish” migrants from Africa will need the extra power I guess...

If the Irish like expensive and intermittent electrical power (solar and wind) rather than the cheap and reliable stuff (nuclear and coal), more power to them!

With all the wind and flatulence the Swedish Meatball and her comrades are producing, I’m surprised it isn’t more than that.

A wind turbine off the coast of Wicklow has seemingly been struck by lightning amid torrid weather conditions.

Wondering just how they fudged the numbers to get that result...

Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

There are about 10 reasons to prohibit wind generation in Ireland. Among them are visual blight over the Emerald Isle, cost per gwh, and materials degradation and disposal, etc....

BUT there are 2 decent reasons Ireland is one of the few places that it may be beneficial. The Atlantic meridional brings warm water to the isle resulting in little or no freezing temps, and a rather reliable wind. Few locales are as lucky, so no surprise to see a “success” story there, if they can ignore all the negatives.

One huge negative will become apparent when wind companies go out of business. Coming soon.

There are about 7 million Irish (including the north) living in Ireland... And over 100 million Irish living outside of Ireland. Given Ireland's current immigration policies, in about 100 years or so there will be no Irish living in Ireland... Then what will they call it?

DRYLAND!

If you build enough windmills, they will eventually produce some electricity when it’s windy. If you pour enough money down a rat hole, it will eventually fill up. Neither is worthwhile.

So we have progressed from a potato famine to an electric famine.

Compared to what a 1000mw nuke plant could produce in one refuel cycle (1.5 yrs) with an 85% capacity factor?.....just sayin’.

In another story, cruise ships, airlines and automobiles are having difficulty navigating...it appears that Ireland is being blown out into the Atlantic due to the increase in wind-powered electric plants. Oh, wait...maybe they are just drinking too much Guinness and Bushmills.
