      Ireland needs to pull the trigger on WFH policies ASAP.

      Good to see people finally realising they don’t need as much energy as they consume.

      There might be some good habits and lifehacks picked up here that will last beyond the crisis.

      These countries rely on middle eastern crude oil for their fuels. Europe is far less dependent. They have also seen panic buying as a result which depleted their reserves. We don’t have this problem either.

      Everybody be cool and we’ll get through this just fine.

      It’s the price of fuel that will hurt far more and reduce unnecessary journeys.

      The sooner we transition to renewables and EVs the better.

      We could be 90% energy independent in a few years.

      Measures & restrictions 2 words I never wanted to hear again after Covid.

      We dont need to respond. We gave shamrocks to trump and that’ll keep us good. 

      Its all we need to do to protect our economy. 

      I swear, if politicians were saw being as determined to improve infrastructure as presenting shamrocks are to economic resilience we’d be in a much better place.

      If the government suggested using less energy they would be hung out to dry. No the only solution is handouts, tax fuel less and tax something else to make up for it

      Let’s take a “last in, first out” approach to limiting energy consumption and start by switching off the AI data centres.

      This issue could transfer quickly from price (a supply signal) to actual availability of sufficient quantities of refined fuels. It’s grand to say “we don’t get ours via Hormuz”, but people who do will buy tankers from elsewhere at inflated prices to secure supply for critical requirements and you could see physical shortages knocking through the system. And shortages, or the risk of them, can lead to panic buying and a self reinforcing issue.

      The signals from governments (not just ours) are being very careful right now to indicate that they’re planning for but not expecting a physical supply shock. It’s like they’re trying to contain a fire in the kitchen as casually as they can without freaking out the guests in the sitting room.

      Another reason for national emergency legislation to fast track solar systems to every home that doesn’t have one. Forget everything else, if you can power your own home for even half the total needed (and most could do that easily) that would be a massive difference in our favour.
