I dunno if I had €9b++ knocking around during an energy crisis I might be in China figuring out how to put solar and batteries on every roof in the country.
I'd have an emergency team plotting out scenarios & building contingency plans for epic amounts of shit hitting the fan

Spain shows us how we can insulate ourselves from future energy shocks and keep prices down for consumers - invest in renewables ASAP.

We know what we need to do, we just need a Government that will do it.

I spoke this evening at a rally outside Dáil Éireann supporting our Earth Day motion; demanding the Government recommit to its 2030 climate targets, to cease its legislative efforts undermining the Climate Act and to properly fund Ireland's Nature Restoration Plan.

This may support my theory that you don't necessarily need to match fight times on Ireland to UK sail and rail (or even to Ireland to France/BE/NL etc), to make the trips attractive to more people, but the connections need to be a lot less frictionless:

We have expressed concerns to the former CEO of Irish Rail that functionality/features appear weak compared to other products in the market, e.g. the proven Luminate from Resonate

Co Down man misses out on PB to help exhausted runner cross Boston Marathon finish line ‘I thought, “God, if someone stops, I’ll stop too and help him.” And God was so generous to us that Aaron Beggs stopped.’

A Co Down man missed out on a personal best to help an exhausted runner cross the finish line at the Boston Marathon.

Aaron Beggs runs with North Down Athletic Club and it has described their runner as a "gentleman" who "couldn't pass an athlete in distress".

"I think it's outrageous industry propaganda..." Listeners are concerned about a book sent to primary schools that promotes Sitka Spruce plantations.

Well done to @irishrainforest.bsky.social for calling out the unacceptable industry propaganda.

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

First shared by @greens-efa.eu almost four years ago, this message feels just as urgent today amid a deepening energy crisis.

We can’t keep ignoring the root cause: our dependence on fossil fuels - driving conflict, damaging our environment, and pushing costs ever higher for ordinary people.

As a children's book author and illustrator, I'm dying to get my hands on one of these. What I've seen of it suggests it's AI slop on top of everything else. Absolutely not something that a minister (as he was then) should be endorsing.

Sitka Spruce the Amazing Timber Tree This is "Sitka Spruce the Amazing Timber Tree" by iPLANiT Productions on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

This video, and 2 copies of the matching book, have been sent to **every primary school in Ireland**.

It's possibly THE most outrageous industry propaganda I've ever seen. The descriptions of Sitka deadzones are so totally false, it's hard to know where to even start.

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 😞
