Brilliant. Overturned a decision from a year ago which means it can now be resubmitted over the course of the next year before being blocked again at some point before the next appeal so over the next 3/4 years we’ll tick past the 20 year mark for a project that has been made critically important by global events in the last 2 years.
And some people genuinely think we should look at building a nuclear power plant. Might get through the planning stage around 2100 at our pace.
Disappointing to see. We don’t allow gas to be fracked in Ireland, we shouldn’t be importing it from impacted communities in other countries.
Also, as the International Energy Agency has pointed out, there is no need for any new fossil fuel infrastructure so this would be a white elephant.
Can we elect another beauty queen MEP to block this important piece of infrastructure again? Because I’d prefer we keep paying some other country to continuing processing it instead of doing it ourselves much cheaper. That way we can pretend we are good people.
Thank fuck it won’t be approved again. We don’t need another over expensive project that’ll be ultimately owned by private entities importing private owned fuel into the country. It will not reduce energy prices, it won’t ease cost of living.
It will increase the likelihood of an environmental disaster as Lng ships have to navigate the Shannon estuary. What are the disaster relief plans for when such a ship runs aground and spills it’s cargo into the estuary? EU fines for pollution?
It will mean locals losing their land through compulsory purchases (looking at you farmers who will fall for supporting this. They’ll take your land to build it) to build the plant and dock. It’ll mean exclusion zones because such a plant needs safety by means of restricted access to the area.
It’ll mean the public won’t see reduced fuel prices because private entities will own the whole thing. We’ll be told we should be honoured to pay standing charges towards funding such a project. And then the EU fines will come in as we continue to host fossil fuels, as climate mitigation becomes more of topical issue.
No, we don’t need this. We need investment in non-fossil fuels and energy sources. Courting fossil fuels will only be more costly for the public in the long run and short run.
