Ireland’s dependence on fossil fuels in transport is leaving the country exposed to repeated fuel price shocks as global energy markets remain disrupted, the Climate Change Advisory Council (CCAC) has warned.
Accelerated investment in public transport, active travel, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and grid capacity would reduce this exposure, the council said in the transport chapter of its 2026 Annual Review.
Temporary emergency responses to fuel price increases were not sufficiently targeted, it said, recommending that those most exposed and least able to avoid fuel costs be given support.
Welcoming the Government’s pilot scrappage scheme to incentivize the purchase of new EVs, the CCAC said measures were needed to increase EV uptake among lower-income households, particularly in areas with high car dependency and limited access to public transport. …

That is all you need to know to realize the rest is lies to support their scam. They insist EV's are the solution when you have to generate that electricity somewhere. Not only that but those cars are heavier. When the Chinese ones get in a wreck they catch on fire. Good luck putting that out. Lithium reacts with water. An entire ship full of EV's had to be abandoned after a fire started.

Really/ so what’s the alternatives: literal horse power, human-drawn rickshaws, bicycles?
They’re trying to push EVs again.
Ireland’s biggest problem is immigration. This energy stuff is a distraction. There is no problem with using carbon based fuels.
I would call it invasion, myself.
And yes; all of the stuff with respect to the climate and other hoaxes are indeed distractions, meant to keep the people off their feet as it were.
“Really/ so what’s the alternatives: literal horse power, human-drawn rickshaws, bicycles?”
They got lots of peat. Oh wait, they’re screwed, that causes CO2 also. On the other hand, I wouldn’t worry about Ireland. Once the Muzzies take over all that climate change crap will be forgotten.
no oil....no electricity...no shock.
Hug the sheep. Ride the sheep.
Before the Mahometans get to them first?
