I've ever understood that because all the carbon released from burning or even ploughing was taken from the air in the first place. We are carbon neutral in farming for the most part.Well one thing for sure about the Biogas it provides plenty of employment for people in agriculture. They used to tell me the emissions it produces are balanced by growing the crops to feed it in a minimum tillage way
It's still a research method atm, there's no commercial tidal energy supplies around that I've heard of anyway?What is the reason for not harnessing tidal, is the scale of what would be needed too big, it would run 24/7/365.
But then they wouldn't have a reason to make use pay carbon tax. The life expectancy of modern nuclear power stations is currently nearing 100years. Build one twice the size we needed if all vehicles were electric and we would be sorted for along timeSurely when two nuclear plants are compared to thousands of turbines, nuclear wins every time. The waste is the only issue but I see videos of thousands of wind turbine blades being buried in the past few weeks as they are not recyclable.
Ireland are at the forefront of stem cell design for medical devices and are seriously well regarded in the medical device industry for innovative solutions. Imagine if the same effort was pushed for nuclear, energy production wouldn’t be a problem
You need two independent plants to guarantee supply when maintenance/inspections is/are carried out, they will take a long time to build also. The tie up with France is probably the cheapest way of securing energy, two nuke plants on the island is the most secure way if going about it.But then they wouldn't have a reason to make use pay carbon tax.

Apart from the diesel in your tractor and what ever is used to produce your fertiliser.I've ever understood that because all the carbon released from burning or even ploughing was taken from the air in the first place. We are carbon neutral in farming for the most part.
Agrred, Cement, steel and plastic use can also be added.Apart from the diesel in your tractor and what ever is used to produce your fertiliser.
Would be interesting to know that figure.Apart from the diesel in your tractor and what ever is used to produce your fertiliser.
Joe Public loses the head if there's talk of a phone mast going up in the parish, the slightest whiff of a nuclear power station would have all the NIMBY's frothing at the mouthNuclear powerstations in a country that cant manage drinking water

Yourself, Arthur and jf850 would be off to relive your days down in Carnsore Point....
Will you go way ourra dat, I wasn't even born..............Yourself, Arthur and jf850 would be off to relive your days down in Carnsore Point....
Definitely a possibility.Pipe dream or possible reality?
Can Nuclear Fusion Put the Brakes on Climate Change?
Amid an escalating crisis, the power source offers a dream—or a pipe dream—of limitless clean energy.www.newyorker.com
Be very interesting. The biggest contributor to the rise in CO2 emissions is us, the human population, a world of oxygen thieves compounded by our addiction to fossil fuels.Would be interesting to know that figure.
just about sums it up, they won,t pay to upgrade the water system so they would definitely skimp on inspections and maintainance in a nuclear power plant, there,s an area around chernoble the size of ireland which is a wasteland and not a lot of farming being carried outNuclear powerstations in a country that cant manage drinking water
