YES to renewables, NO to 25 year old tech. Calling for a 22km turbine free zone off the Waterford coast, protecting #biodiversity, #tourism and local #fishing.

So much misinformation around floating wind turbine foundations. This technology is ready to go and can be deployed in Irish waters. All we need is a government with ambition, long term vision and a self addressed envelope. Lisa Chambers Val Cummins windfloat-atlantic.com/windfloat-atla…

If you care about your area, environmental law, *democracy* itself, you should be outraged at the silent, deadly coup happening in the Dáil next week in the form of the Planning Bill. Very important piece by AttractaUB ☮️🇺🇦💙💛Access to Justice is my thing. Shame on all 3 government parties. irishexaminer.com/opinion/commen…

More BS from the wind lobby group claiming wind energy is cheap. This is a false narrative based around a flawed electricity market structure. Wind energy will cost the state and consumers a fortune. Please be realistic. irishexaminer.com/business/econo…

The Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee issued a report this week expressing the view that parts of the Planning and Development Bill 2023 do not comply with the #Aarhus Convention

“the SC-DMAP appears to be primarily and merely a prioritisation exercise for selecting technically and economically attractive sites for ORE developers without balanced consideration for existing maritime activities, particularly fishing”

Every step to safeguard nature in the face of near shore wind ‘gold rush’ by energy players has been set aside. No SEA. No site selection oversight. Instead, gov rubber stamped inappropriate sites by giving MACs, 45 yr site occupation, with no env assess or public participation.

This adds a serious legal problem to the very long list of reasons why this Bill should NOT be railroaded through its upcoming stages in the Seanad.

We can do it but some people in Dept. Environment, Climate and Communications have decided that floating is not ready to deploy off the Irish coast. Also rumours that floating will be similar price to fixed by 2035. South coast DMAP could be so much more... AfloatMagazine Catherine Connolly Coastal Concern Alliance

Notice to all Gannets: Please fly below 30 meters to avoid instant death resulting from offshore turbine blade collisions. Notice to all seabirds: Don't look or smile at photographers. It only encourages them to come closer. BirdWatch Ireland Coastal Concern Alliance irishtimes.com/environment/cl…

Prof of computer science, Apostolos Gerasoulis, confirms that without a doubt, offshore wind kills whales. Is this finding in time to save Irish cetaceans still relying on outdated noise impact guidelines for their safety?

Whale and dolphin group get involved in distance to shore debate which has nothing to do with them. Did they get another consultancy fee from the wind industry to write this crap? Sad to see. Kevin O'Sullivan Fair Seas Coastwatch Upfront with Katie Hannon iwdg.ie/offshore-wind-…

Italian government aligns with turbine manufacturer and developer aiming to produce wind turbines in Italy supporting the development of a 2.8GW floating wind project. This represents over half of Ireland's 2030 target. Now that's ambition! Shannon Foynes Port Matt Shanahan TD (Ind) 🇮🇪 🇺🇦 🇪🇺

Glad to see that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation has stopped and restarted in the past. All will be well in time. Hopefully it will keep going until the November election 😁. Blue Ireland Coastal Concern Alliance @335kbikeshed Wicklow Wildlife Welfare irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/0…
