      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

      Saw this and it might change their minds.

      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.

      Generalize and over exaggerate, the misinformation handbook 101

      My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that’s the way I likes it

      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?

    18. carlitobrigantehf on

      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…

      Yet another troglodyte doesn’t want his cave to be disturbed by those weird city yokos.

    23. hmmm_ on

      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.

    24. WoolySheep_007 on

      Should put up a great big counter sign on the other side of the road…

      “Relax lads, it’s not Mad Max — it’s just panels on a field. The only apocalypse is trying to pay your ESB bill without them.”

    25. Embarrassed-Fault973 on

      Ah yes, freaking out over putting ecologically friendly, passive energy collector in the middle of what is a landscape completely artificially transformed by several centuries of industrial farms that we think are somehow natural makes total sense.

      I am beginning to assume some of these conspiracies are being pushed out into social media by lobbies that want green energy to be problematic so they can keep selling gas and oil. There are always far right Americans from petroleum rich states and Russians at the core of those cult like anti solar and anti wind campaigns online and gullible types buy into it and amplify it.

      I’d an older lady in Dublin trying to argue with me that there was “no climate change when we used to use more *natural* fuels like coal.” She was convinced that if we all just went back to burning coal in fireplaces and stopped using electricity that everything would be lovely… you’d wonder about some people! You really would….

      She was smuggling dirty coal into the middle of Dublin and refusing to use her central heating which she convinced herself was “drying the air” and complaining that she couldn’t get the proper coal anymore etc etc

    26. Light_Bulb_Sam on

      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..? 

    27. Too-many-Bees on

      It is going to take all the sunlight and wind, and tidal waves, and then everything will be dark and no ocean or wind to enjoy!!

    28. Fl3mingt on

      My village has started putting up signs against a proposed local wind farm.

      It’s very easy to say no without proposing an alternative.

    29. Apprehensive_Ratio80 on

      I seriously hope to God people somewhere are studying and trying to figure out how to stop/prevent/treat this absolutely idiocy that seems to be everywhere where people believe the most utter sh!the and attack anything that goes against a post they saw on FB 🤦🏻‍♂️

      Buddy of mine is well down the rabbit hole of conspiracy I don’t know how to help him see the light..he refuses vaccines and likely won’t get his future kids vaccinated, doesn’t wear sun cream anymore causes he thinks it’s bad for him, thinks Trump “has a point” about immigrants 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ and fully believes every word Joe Rogan says.

      The Irish Freedom Party are supporting their campaign.

      Fucking Facebook man. I think back in the day there was enough of a mix of users to keep things ‘somewhat’ logical but since the younger generations have dropped it for the most part it’s become such a lethal echo chamber.

    33. hmmmmmmmbop on

      I know the area well. Its a handful of residents in the immediate vicinity and a heap of morons with nothing better to do. They need a cause and this one is flavour the month. A lot of the same fools recently protested against a proposed bio gas development which ended up not getting planning

      Tbf I work in solar and I would want a huge battery plant next to my house

    36. earth-calling-karma on

      The solar farms is already affecting cameras and blurring the image.

    37. Richiesaidohyea on

      Solar apocalypse, like that movie Sunshine with Cillian Murphy and Mark Strong. Sounds good

    38. ivan-ent on

      Betting 100% also anti 5g, anti windfarms and vaccines ,is a racist and beleives in chemtrails

    39. phflegm on

      Oh no, the solar farm will ruin the landscape, the view of other gigantic new build one off mansions from my gigantic new build one off mansion!

    41. KangarooNo7224 on

      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?
