The Folly of Solar ? a Dot on the Horizon Versus a Blight on the Land Fri May 16, 2025 09:00 | Ben Pile
Solar power requires 700 times the land of nuclear power to produce the same amount of energy, calculates Ben Pile. And it still won't work in the dark. When will we recognise the immense folly of renewable energy?

Jump To Comment: 3 2 1The Irish are getting angry, finally, good.
The woman speaking at the end put it right, the message to Ireland:
come out and protest
dont be complaining,
dont be telling me that "ah look what they are doing with the cuts "
get out and fight for your own rights
dont be expecting us to do it
come and fight
i look forward to more action and more vids of that action from TRADE UNION TV - http://www.youtube.com/user/TradeUnionTVIreland
‘‘This is Greece! We are not Ireland! We do not sacrifice ourselves for the rich!"-

"The previous, hated, British colonial rule has left the country with a well embedded legal and political infrastructure. The country’s small size makes it easier to manage. While Ireland has a history of bloody civil war, it appears to be facing the current woes with surprisingly high levels of social cohesion.
In a sense, the crisis is being treated like a horrific new year’s day hangover: everyone knows that Ireland wildly overindulged during the credit boom, they also know that purging – if not repentance – is needed. So the nation is collectively lying on the sofa, groaning. "
Gillian Tett in Financial Times, 12 5 10

Thanks for that Paula. Its worth noting that one of those who was batoned by the cops at the demo last night was a 61 year old retired midwife. She wasn't endangering the cops but she was hit on the head with a baton. This is a breach of Garda discipline, they are not supposed to strike people on the head, certainly not people who pose no danger to them.
Dont get too starry eyed about the cops. If it came to it they would baton a pensioners demo offf the streets.
