A new report from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) says that although energy related emissions in Ireland have fallen by 16% since 2018, the country has not broken the link between economic growth and fossil fuel use in a meaningful way.

The SEAI says Ireland needs to double down on decarbonization, especially in transport, which is still 93% powered by fossil fuels.

Ireland is legally obliged to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030.

SEAI Energy in Ireland 2025 report notes total energy-related emissions have fallen to the lowest level in over 30 years.

This has been despite a 10% growth in the population, 18% growth in electricity demand, and strong growth in the economy.

Surrendering to sodomites, bowing to Mecca, discarding what is required for prosperity.

I think the wrong people are in charge there.

Places like Ireland and the northeastern US probably should seek to use nuclear power.

Liquid hydrocarbon fuels are going to be needed indefinitely.

Hydrocarbon fuel usage should be minimized.

“Ireland needs to break its links with fossil fuel use, SEAI says”

hell yeah! ... all of that manufacturing that was off-shored to Ireland from the USA can move back here, and Ireland can go back to raising sheep, living in stone huts with straw roofs, and eating Haggis: all fossil-fuel-free activities ...

Which leaves them with what exactly to power their country? Solar? Wind? Hot air from politicians?

Ireland’s future of freezing to death in the dark fits with the sixth century lifestyle that’ll be brought about by the invading religion of hate, rape, misogyny, and lies.

"it warns this is not enough to achieve the 2030 targets"

I'm always nauseated by those man-made targets. The bed wetters act as if they had ascended Mt. Sinai and received the Holy Climate Tablets directly from God.

I had business travel to Ireland in the late 1990s a few times. I loved the place but i noticed my b&b hosts, people I talked with in town, on the train, etc, were very tilted left.

It was very jarring given the benefits their society still exhibited from a more conservative past.

Ireland is dead. The feminazi takeover which led to the importation of savage Muslims ensured it. It will not recover.

A matricahal society always collapse because among the natives, men will refuse to protect the territory that they live in, which makes them vulnerable to an invasion by a hostile “army”. In other words, this is what is happening to Ireland.
