   Hey #Ireland, might not be a bad time to write your TDs and tell them we need to do something soon to reduce the impact of energy and food costs. And removing fuel taxes isn't it. Increasing grants for solar PV installs - and more battery storage, encouraging people to move to EVs, insulation grants. Anything to reduce energy usage and to help make existing wind power useful will help. And honestly, doing something to get as much wind power online as quickly as possible.

     I'd also argue to push for more workers to WFH. That saves a ton of energy.

     The world has lost 20% of LNG and oil production. It's not coming back till 2027 at the earliest. I'm not sure people have realised that and what the consequences are.
