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.

Ireland is a "tiny" country and all countries have to do their part as agreed in the climate accords.

Energy independence and reducing fossil fuel usage benefits us all as nutcases like Putin and the Saudis etc want us all dependant on them forever.

Putin thought that he could freeze Europe by cutting off the gas and now China etc are paying him a pittance even if they are paying him at all.

Reuters: Russia facing delays in oil payments from China, Turkey and UAE. Banks in China, the UAE, and Turkey have boosted sanctions compliance leading to Russian oil firms facing months of delays in receiving payments, Reuters reported on March 27.

Bigger cars yet more road deaths, maybe the cars themselves are not the problem but the standard of driving?

In the last week:

A car drove into the path of a lorry coming the opposite direction leaving 3 dead.

A single vehicle crash in Armagh killed 4 people.

7 deaths in a matter of days.
