Lets not build anything new anywhere anytime ever.

Coming down from the graveyard onto Ringmahon Road they extended the footpath outwards.
Cars now have to cross over the white line into oncoming traffic to turn. It's fucking dangerous Jank.

It’s like a slalom weaving in and out of traffic cones to avoid oncoming vehicles

China is currently constructing over 225 new solar farms/plants that is enough to power 400 million homes.

A massive 455 GW of renewable power ready to come on stream in the next few years.

To compare, Moneypoint in Co. Clare is Irelands biggest powerplant with a generating capacity of 915 MW. That means China is bringing on stream enough renewable clean energy generation in the next few years as approx 500 Moneypoints.





The, "What about China" precondition is going to run hollow very quick.

That is the fault of the contractors, not the Greens or bike lanes or whatever bogeyman you want to have a go at.

This is very ambitious.

Back in the 1990's the death toll on irish roads was averaging between 350 and 400 with a lot less cars on the road,the death toll now is averaging between 160 & 190 approx. Who can we give credit to for this vast improvement in road deaths.

Regulations that make car safer and the engineers who built these cars.

We are going backwards very fast now though.

China imports approximately 9 million barrels of oil a day, which makes them dependent on the likes of Russia and Saudi for energy. They know this is a risk for their national security.
They also import most of their coal, from the likes of Mongolia and Australia, this is also a risk.

Going big on renewables is not only good for the environment and the health of their citizens, its also a geopolitical power play.

Ireland’s impact on carbon emissions is tiny. Reducing carbon emissions in Ireland is like showing up at an earthquake with a dustpan and brush. As for authoritarian dictatorships like China: YULIN, China, Nov 30 (2023 Reuters) - On a flat, dusty patch of land 13 kilometres (8.1 miles) west of Yulin in the heart of China's coal country, construction workers braved sub-freezing temperatures at the site of a planned 700 megawatt (MW) power plant set to open in less than a year. Surrounded by cranes, the main building at the 3 billion-plus yuan ($419 million) Yushen Yuheng plant is taking shape, part of a spate of new coal-fired power construction in China even as the country pledges to begin reducing coal use during its next five-year plan, beginning in 2026.

The same ol..
2024 is the year of inflection for China when new renewable energy coming on stream outpaces older fossil fuel power plants.

Meanwhile we are still putting a precondition down that China has to fix its stuff first before we do anything..

Those regulations you praise also made cars bigger - yet you and your fellow weirdos complain that cars got bigger.
