Brilliant final day of our DCU Centre for Climate & Society field trip to Brussels yesterday.
In the morning, our MSc in #ClimateChange students visited Ireland In The EU to hear about careers in the #EU , and then met Hana Rihovsky of Greens/EFA in the EU Parliament 🌍 & @taraconnollyGW of Global Witness
@taraconnollyGW Tony - Pod Guy - Groves Eamon Ryan Those who don't sup at the neoliberal table want ad hoc reform of the wholesale electricity market. We know that Eamon Ryan doesn't want that. His neoliberal politics are clear in his smothering of just transition & his commodification of climate change. Greta Thunberg he ain't!
Here's a great challenge for the new year ! Help mapping of tactics and approaches to increase accountability of corporate sectors to climate and social goals in #buildings to stir some action !

Paul kenny @taraconnollyGW I'm so delighted with our heat pump that I bore people endlessly about it. Both the heat pump and the ebike are game-changing.

@taraconnollyGW @SolarHomeIRL The Irish Times A lot of people have plenty to say on Agri, and they are far from experts on it, in fact a lot of them haven’t a clue. Doesn’t stop them pontificating in the Irish times, on radio and tv or anywhere that will put up with them
Gerard Cunningham ✒️ Tom Simone @taraconnollyGW Marcus Stewart Plenty of funding - mostly wasted on admin & excessive pay.
@taraconnollyGW Adrian Hiel Greenpeace Greece We're at the point - given the remarkable inaction since Nov last year - that we will have to do both for winters 22 & 23
But govts need to get stakes in the utilities as compensation
Because, lets be clear, w/o govt payments to consumers, they'll all b bankrupt come March 2023
Wondering why NGOs like Global Witness Friends of the Earth Europe🌍 or CEO aren't covering this whitewashing of Russian gas by Azerbaijan, UvdL's 'reliable parter' @taraconnollyGW Pascoe Sabido
