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!
They’re averse to nuclear because of the propaganda surrounding the Sellafield nuke site in northwest England, from the phony 2006 RTÉ show “Fallout”.
The EU’s sick regulations regarding both coal and turf caused many electric power plants that used them as fuel to shut down. And they claim that they don’t want foreign powers ruling over them?
