@ray_cun @greenparty_ie And our energy prices for domestic customers are probably one of, if not, the highest in Europe. Bravo

@paulieG55370753 @greenparty_ie Energy prices are high because we import so much gas. Building Shannon LNG would have meant importing more gas. Building renewables makes us self-sufficient and lowers prices.

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie Barryroe oil field should and Shannon LGN never have been stopped, now we import instead of producing our own, the Green Larty are only good gor taxes and increasing peoples expenses

@David0Connor @greenparty_ie Shannon LNG was an import terminal.

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie Yes and we had to buy ship loads of peat from Poland to keep the lights on last winter and the winter before.

@ColumbaMd @greenparty_ie Horticultural peat, and a fraction of the amount we exported .

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie Government doesn’t make planning decisions. You refused nothing.

@Billy_Timmins @greenparty_ie An Bord Pleanala explicitly said in their planning refusal that they were refusing because Shannon LNG was contrary to government policy. We made government policy.

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie You don't seem to have a clue about how wind energy works in the grid! We are using gas to stabalise the grid as wind is intermittent. The more turbines on the grid the more gas is used. Ipso facto!

@GweebarraG @greenparty_ie That's just nonsense. Gas plants are not powered up when wind turbines are supplying power.

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie

@WuKelly @greenparty_ie As the article says, Moneypoint will not be part of the standard supply, but it will be kept available as an emergency backup.

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie Stop the lights

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie Renewable energy that is getting more expensive at each auction is it?

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie But we will still buy this oil so no real difference. Only the Brits will make more profit.

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie Yes making us poorer and colder.

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie Yes that and sending people into poverty

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie Yes and we the middle and low income sector are paying an enormoujs price because of the Green Party through energy bills

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie That is only half the storey. We have the highest home energy bills in the EU, higher motoring costs all leading to higher inflation.

@ray_cun @greenparty_ie Moneypoint converting 900MW from coal *to oil* which Ireland had almost entirely got rid of from electricity supply. New gas plants approved to backstop the renewables. Silvermines pumped storage "a year from planning" in 2021 and only gone to ABP a month ago. Ain't all good news
