Ireland's Energy Challenge EE18 EP3 (Part 1)
#energy # fossilfuels #ireland
Fossil fuels helped list society out of poverty and helped develop incredible affluence and social wellbeing in the last century. But the challenges for the next century are very different. If we want civilisation to continue to flourish then we need much more resilience and we need a fast swing away from fossil fuels.
In this episode Duncan takes a closer look at Ireland's energy demands across heating, industry and transport. He'll visit Irelands electric power operator Eirgrid to examine the current state of the Irish grid and meet the people determined to modernise our energy economy from the SEAI, ESB, Codema and many others.

I loved this video... Ireland is very much capable to go 100 green in terms of energy generation and that will help us to slide down in electricity terrifies charts in EU ......
Great episode I saw on TV as well. Very informative.
We must use turbine windmills, we have the wind, why did Ireland (ESB) not go ahead with Norway and develop more large windmills ? Are we too slow to go ahead ……?
Current electricity costs are being driven up mostly by fuel prices, If we switch to Nuclear power and give greater incentives to buy electric cars (including subsidising and prioritising lithium battery production) this problem will subside substantially over time. Also, many countries are going for the practical short term measures of taxing fossil fuel company profits to discourage extortionate profiteering Overall though, Society’s rejection of Nuclear power was a massive mistake, and the environment has payed dearly for it as we continue to rely on fossil fuels for our electricity!
