Vital infrastructure NIMBYed again. Nothing ever changes. No grid, no wind power, no solar. Can’t have anything but then wonder why electricity costs so much.
„Deputy O’Rourke said he believes the „root of all this has been an unwillingness of Eirgrid and successive governments to engage meaningfully“.
He is among the cohort who want to see the project put underground. Eirgrid has previously said this is not possible.“
He cant be serious. This would insanely expensive.
We need any constitutional change necessary to override property rights, or whatever is needed to ensure this goes through.
>Sinn Féin TD for Meath East Darren O’Rourke
Shocked face
Engage meaningfully, what a load of shite!
As said more NIMBY dopes, which is why we can’t have nice things like:
A cycle lane
A greenway
A bus lane
A bypass road
Wind farm
A metro stop
More often than not if you see a picture of an NIMBY group, the are glum looking and mostly old and retired People with fuck all else to do!!!!
This typical Sinn Fein. Support renewables and progress as a whole but on the ground support the nimbys
Resistance to interconnector remains strong
Potential is still high
Current figures paint a powerful picture
€50k per pylon! Thats great money for 3 to 4 sq metres of land
How many ohms we talking about?
We are still prioritising endless “planning” and objections over development, despite government assuring us the new planning bill would fix this.
Why?! We need to upgrade our grid badly – look up any reports from EirGrid, they’re struggling at this capacity and our usage will only rise as the years go on
There’s a serious energy crisis. This kind of stuff is insane. We will have even more resistance to rolling power outages, and dire economic impacts if that situation were ever allowed to happen.
Our inability to plan and build infrastructure could well end up causing us a lot of pain we should not have had to deal with.
With that sort of voltage, there will always be resistance.
Absolute nasty pieces of work here. It goes to show that there is little or no social contract with a large contingent of the farming community. Along with the usual appalling populism of Sinn Fein who once again prove their lip service to a united Ireland by campaigning against a united grid to safeguard our power and reduce costs. The hollow hypocrisy and usual lies of “undergrounding” really go to the unfitness of SF like the DUP for government.
