Schematic of a house with solar panels, showing where the electricity being produced is being sent, into the house, the battery and the grid.

April on the 'wrong' roof, and the solar panels are producing more than we need. Ireland should go solar.

Can anyone really ‘find’ Peig?

Look, for my money the absolute game changer technologies right now are batteries and biosciences, not statistically modeling a mid conversation, but you do you.

Should have spent the 750 million on solar and wind generation.

Can you lose her again please? Asking for all leaving cert Irish students.

Spain is crushing it ⚡🇪🇸

Solar is delivering the equivalent of 27 nuclear plants during the day. Pumped hydro stores ~3 nuclear plants worth. Batteries already stepping in.

This isn’t a generation problem anymore. It’s storage scale.

Energy scarcity → energy timing. #BESS #Solar

Sarah Moss: The unshed tears of men with big trucks are costly indeed How different would Ireland have been this last century if the tears of women were a national emergency?

A parallel row of indentations in the rock of Valentia Island, trace fossils of a tetrapod

Tetrapod Trackway • Valentia Island

Around 350-400 million years ago, a metre-long amphibious creature ventured out of a cool pool to make its way ponderously across the sticky mud to bask in the warming sun.

Remarkably, you can still see its footprints on Valentia Island, County Kerry.

The Last Quiet Thing Your possessions came alive. Now they won't stop talking.

[Worth reading] Ooof, I was not expecting to be mindblown on a Tuesday morning but here we are: "what if the exhaustion everybody feels isn't a moral failure but the completely rational response to being made responsible for an ecosystem of objects that never stop asking?"

Fintan O'Toole: Ireland’s far-right movement will emerge from the ‘breakfast roll-atariat’ Fuel protests have seen big wheels driven over democratic norms

“Bullied” means having to abide by laws made by people we freely elect. “Robbed” means paying taxes to sustain a decent society. But in this hysteria, democracy is intolerable oppression and the duty to pay for the common good is theft.”
