Ireland ranks fourth in Electricity from Wind

The International Energy Agency is now ranking Ireland 4th in terms of electricity generated from Wind Energy. This is another milestone for renewables in Ireland and in particular for those who have championed the onshore sector.

We are now only behind Denmark, Portugal and Spain, countries who would be regarded to be tech leaders in this field. Given our resources see below, we should be moving far ahead of these countries, particularly if we seriously develop our offshore potential.

Not always in agreement with Construct Ireland's analysis, after all they are experts and I'm only a bar stooler, but this is a really good article on the folly of Bord Snip cuts on energy saving.

In return for shamelessly lifting the link, I should point out that their fine magazine is now available in all good newsagents. By direct implication if your newsagent doesnt have it it is therefore less than good and you should not shop their. If they are that slip shod about magazine procurement they may also not wash their hands before making your breakfast roll - not the kind of thing you want as a pandemic is about to kick off.

I kid I kid.
