Dublin currently has ZERO cycle lanes under construction.
You'd think the climate crisis, collapsing AMOC, fossil fuel supply crisis, obesity epidemic, traffic jams or appalling road death increases didn't exist.
No urgency. Just subsidies for ... yep... more fossil fuels 😞

“…Irreversible for hundreds to thousands of years”
“Irreversible”.
This is infinitely more consequential than Trump, oil prices, Hormuz etc. yet we continue to ignore it.
The suggestion that Ireland should reverse the ban on drilling for oil and gas has popped up again.
I made a programme looking at this from every imaginable angle.

Spoiler alert: The arguments for drilling don’t add up.
Stop subsidizing sprawl! If you want a big fully detached house with a private yard, you should have to pay what that actually costs. It’s outrageous that we’ve artificially made suburbia cheaper than the city in North America.
Parents are pleading for traffic dangers around Harold’s Cross Educate Together National School to be addressed. Changes to improve safety are part of the planning permission, while a walkability audit five years back made recommendations, too.

The only way to durably protect hauliers - and the economy - against fossil fuel shocks is to support them to electrify trucks.
Sales of electric trucks in China outsold diesel trucks last December.

A photo from behind showing me wearing a bright orange vest and bright orange helmet
I think I was pretty visible today when a woman pulled out of a driveway without looking and nearly hit me. I had a blinking front light too. High-viz will never be a solution for poor infrastructure and dangerous drivers.
