Micheál Martin: Ireland needs to work towards energy independence. That's why we need to consider nuclear.

Me (a fool): But why not concentrate on renewables? We don't have any uranium mines here, Micheál... so we'd just be switching one imported fuel for another...

Micheál Martin (a smart man): Bah! Details!

Analysis: Record wind and solar saved UK from gas imports worth £1bn in March 2026

Wind generation hit a new record for March up 38% year-on-year, while solar nearly matched the output of last year.

This record wind & solar output avoided the need to import 21TWh of gas – roughly 18 fully loaded tankers of liquified natural gas (LNG) – at a cost around £1bn at current high prices due to the Iran war.

Stick that up your jaxy Trump

More traffic today, & more aggro big ute owners. 🤦 A fuel excise cut sees fuel (not diesel) down to where it jumped when Trump attacked... Temporarily helpful, but only a bandaid.

I also want long term solutions. Get us off petrol. Free public transport. Increase EV take up. Cheap public charging when electricity's cheap. Help to buy. Charging for those who can't charge at home. Remote fast chargers.

We can & do make shitloads of renewable power. Let's use it

Ooooh. Now, that I've convinced the Domestic Department of Internal Affairs (DDIA) of roof top solar to be a good idea, this site doesn't work any more:

https://solarpower.cer.auckland.ac.nz/

Any suggestions on what other resources for input on planning/decision making would be suitable?

I'd think we'd start with a set of panels up front, and in future years add battery storage later on (to make it more manageable from a financial perspective).

Replaced a faulty solar inverter in my garage and added a battery for extra backup. With all that's happening I'm about to splash out on about 20kw of solar panels and look to add more batteries to a container I'm going to set aside for them.
Can I afford them? No. But I can't afford to keep paying huge amounts for power. If anyone knows where I can buy a reasonable 5-10Kw turbine setup in Scotland let me know. #EnergyIndependence #renewables #solarpower #offgrid #windturbine

"... the events of the last week, which have seen the strait of Hormuz closed to shipping and international supplies of LNG cut off (causing a bidding war and price increases) show just how stupid it is."

Think Big gets a bad rap, and not without some justification. But at least some of the projects were about energy independence in the face of a fossi fuel crisis fueled by Middle East politics. This is the exact opposite.

After escaping Russian energy dependence, Europe is locking itself in to US LNG

The EG4 system is quite robust. Initial R&D testing indicates that this could be a comparable replacement to the now discontinued Schneider XW platform (which was, without a doubt, the best and most robust off-grid solution available, but cost a fortune).

Findings so far are almost zero transfer time from grid to battery. Fired up a 2HP motor with 5kW heater effortlessly. Commissioning wasn't hard, but it's more complicated than your typical "home battery".

I still have a bunch of tests to run including generator support, the monitoring portal, smart loads, etc.
