Haven’t paid a cent for electricity in well over a year thanks to solar. It & wind energy are the future.
That being said, if solar farms are just plonked down near people’s homes / farms I can understand the dramatics, even if I disagree.
Planning teams need to find space for them that is away from populated hubs but close enough for grid connection.

I like how many people care more about silly shit like this but don’t give a shit about how coal plants are actually scientifically proven to be causing an actual apocalypse
Well, they should spelled it correctly. Credit where credits due. Despite the ignorance.

Why are people so against stuff like this? Having a renewable energy source attached to your town is only a good thing, especially if it isn’t pumping harmful fumes around your community. With the world, economy and environment becoming more unstable I am all for having more and more renewable energy generation locally so we aren’t as cut off during a global crisis.

I do a lot of driving around this country, and the amount of “Ballygobackwards Says NO to vital infrastructure and future-proofing developments!” Is crazy.
We have some load of work ahead of us as a country.

There’s a village locally that has signs up all over the place objecting to a poultry factory because apparently it’s against the „rural way of living“. Isn’t the farming and processing of animals the literal epitome of rural living?

I was driving from Galway to Wexford a couple of weekends ago and passed through some small village on the way. Forget where it was but there was a sign that said
**<vilage_name> says NO!**
didnt say what they were saying no too. At least from an efficiency pov they can reuse that sign fro everything…

Facebook has a lot to answer for. In my neighbourhood group, and I’m sure it’s the same everywhere else, there are a small group of people with fuck all else to do who moan incessantly about everything new. And because the people who don’t care/support the idea are probably out working or having a life and not commenting, it’s just an echo chamber for anyone impressionable who might be reading it.

Yeah I was driving around that part of the country there last month and saw some pure shite like that too. Another one saying „wind farms destroy communities“… like what the actual fuck is going on in these people’s heads. At least try to make sense..?

Massive bog farm 5km outside the village, not defunct since the turf ban, want to turn the site into a wind farm and the complaints are never ending. I mean, who needs free energy when there’s power cuts in the village every month?

Just like this nonsense that happened near me. The „untested“ storage in question is an incredibly simple mechanism of storing excess electricity, based entirely on iron, water and air. It is already going to be next to an electricity substation. Typical NIMBY rubbish.
NIMBY hyperbole, in this establishment?! I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you. (Lodges several planning objections in own area, for well founded reasons concerning a local snail.) /s
