“Vote Eamon Ryan No. 1 so that in Government he can …..”

[goosebump]

LOL

And Im being selective. I just used the last 4 days

Which were very calm days

You hand picked 3 days with some of the highest wind output this year...

I picked 3 days from the last 2 weeks

But lets take one of your days and look a bit closer

march 2nd wind supply peaked at 9pm at roughly 580MW.

Demand at that time roughly 4,100 MW

so roughly 15% at peak output

But lets look at 9am supply was roughly 260MW but demand was 3821MW so about 6%

So claiming we generate 15% of our electricity from wind is stretching things a bit.

Whether 15% is accurate or not is completely irrelevant.

Fact: We are producing more wind power than ever before

Fact: Relative to demand, oil is more expensive that at any time in economic history

Fact: Oil reserves that can be economically tapped are finite.

Fact: Wind is infinite

The most wind power that has ever been produced was 1060MW at the end of last October. That would have been unthinkable 10 years ago. Within another 10 years, we will be able to produce 3,000MW on a regular basis, and oil will be $200 per barrel minimum.

To not develop wind power would be extreme folly.

FACT wind power is the most expensive way of generating electricity

FACT the wind power is unreliable and unpredictable.

FACT we will never produce 3,000MW of wind power on a "regular" basis. (as long as you define regular as 4 or 5 days a week)

FACT wind power is not the solution to our energy supply issues.

FACT wind power requires backup which means gas stations so even after all that cost and we will still be dependant on fossil fuels.

calling your "guess" at what oil prices will be in 10 years a fact is stretching things a bit...

Yeah but with the over priced interconnectors at least we will be able to import clean extremely low Co2 clean Nuclear generated electricity from the UK!

Vote Eamo' Ryan you got to be kiddin' bloody Clowen's Greenspeak puppet!

Yeah, FAS trainee standard Photoshop Mockups win the argument every time.

Thank you for your kind comments

But to tell you the truth I honestly believe a sleaze ball voting full confidence in Willie O'Dea...r to keep their own personal seats in government actually says it all about the "FF/Green's" and for the poor fools that support them.

It's funny how shameless some Green defenders are - whereas most intelligent people slip away from the battlefield when they realise that they have been beaten all ends up, some Greens insist on acting like the Polish cavalry in WW2 and only succeed in making prize donkeys of themselves.

It's all vaguely reminiscent of Willie O'Dee's pathetic last stand on RTE 2 weeks ago. He was too stupid to realise that it was a time to lie low and keep shtum - and so, it seems, is Goosebrains.

Phew! Just as well we barely use any oil at all to generate electricity here.

Campaigner faces court for symbolic protest at Minster Ryan’s Department.
Press release

Issued by Dublin Shell to Sea

Monday, 05 July 2010

For immediate release.



Campaigner faces court for symbolic protest at Minster Ryan’s Department.



Shell to Sea campaigner Stewart Reddin will appear in front of the District Court in Dublin on Tuesday 6th July at 12:00.



Former Shell to Sea campaigner, Minister Eamon Ryan has charged Mr. Reddin with minor public order offences after he joined three others in a symbolic peaceful protest at Minister Ryan’s Department of Communications Energy and Natural Resources on Adelaide Road, Dublin 2.



The symbolic protest took place on Friday 21st May. Mr Reddin and three others draped themselves in chains inside the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources in order to symbolise the ongoing imprisonment of Erris fisherman and prominent Mayo Shell to Sea campaigner Pat O’Donnell.



Caoimhe Kerins of Dublin Shell to Sea, who also took part in the protest that day said, “When the Rossport 5 were in prison, Eamon Ryan stood on the street and protested with us. Since he has gone into office he has tried to disassociate himself from Shell to Sea. Now he is having charges pressed against a campaigner for peaceful and symbolic protest. It is unbelievable.”
