“While in 2020 it looked as if the substantial cost of moving to a net-zero world would require major state investment because it was not commercially attractive, at today’s price of gas, energy efficiency and decarbonising energy are the cheap options.
Prof FitzGerald said that the additional cost this year of importing gas for the EU and Ireland would amount to 3 per cent of national income and if gas prices remain where they are, this could cumulatively add another 2 per cent to bring the figure to 5 per cent Prof Fitzgerald said that 70 per cent of Ireland’s gas currently comes from the UK and, if they were to reduce exports to the European Union in order to reduce the price on the domestic UK market, it would cause massive disruption in Ireland,
Not if there is no cheaper options.
Says economist!! Jesus wept
Those who don’t die will burn trees?
Isn’t gas considered clean?
That's fine for people who own their own homes. Renters in mouldy apartments can't get landlords to fix the damp, let alone add in insisting or better heating options
Yeah dead people means less carbon
I never trust Freemasons and John Fitzgerald is one of them. He just admitted that this is all planned well in advance....ClimateScam
I'm emptying out the recycle bin in my fire. Lovely jet black smoke from all the plastic. Burns well👍👍
Won’t really…
Decarbonise home and workplace heating: heat pumps,‘green heat’/district heating, solar on every roof, insulation, energy efficiency etc.. Italy:
Buzzwords buzzwords and more buzzwords.
But only if they can afford to do so..
Stop talking nonsense, it will lead to revolution.
Back to 1939..
Freeze Granny for Ukraine !!
These Greenies have no clue..
Wishful thinking. What's the difference between an economist and a business man? One knows how human psychology works.
Once they don’t start shooting cows in the field for farting.
I'm recycling my rubbish. I'm releasing the stored energy within it by burning it in a stove to generate heat for the winter. I expect to save 400 bucks immediately on refuse charges and more in not buying gas coal or lecka
We insulated our ceiling years ago. I wondered why it made no difference and then my husband reminded me that we never turn on the heat so the insulation had no chance to keep the house warm. Good indoor puffy jacket and blankets on the couch the only way to go.
Dying from climate related disasters will also lead people to decarbonize their energy.
