@davidmcw interesting idea from your latest podcast about state innovation loan guarantees but need to make the money is effectively used and not just seen as a gift to the entrepeneur to spend on themslves

@think_or_swim surprized that oil rigs do not use products from the crude oil to power their generators rather than using diesel that has to be shipped or piped to the rigs.
There’s a huge amount of confusion - and misinformation - surrounding ICE vs EV debate, ie which has larger emissions & ecological impact.
Terrific animated video here that examines facts clearly & cogently (if you’re a petrol-head, look away now).

So much better fun than playing FiFa on a PS5
Just been up in the loft…
“What is this Dad, like some sort of antique FIFA from before computers?”
Yes dear. That’s exactly what it is.
@SubbuteoOficial @SubbuteoOnline
@nigeldoddsDUP the majoritybof people on Northern Ireland want EU control to continue here.
Isn’t it time they stood up to Dublin (and for themselves) over the Protocol/Windsor Framework as well? Time to stop craven acceptance of foreign jurisdiction over NI

We need tge Assembly back now with no excuses from any MLA
By over 2:1, NI voters want the Assembly restored, rising to 3:1 among women and more among U35s. Blocking this will only deepen the isolation of Unionists and support for the Union will rely ever more heavily on non-aligned voters alienated by the veto. qub.ac.uk/sites/post-brexit-…

Totally agree As someone from Dublin who has lived for 30 years in Northern Ireland the people ‘down south’ need to understand the ‘new Ireland’ will be very different to the country they now live in.
A fascinating exchange between @PatricKielty and @Tommedian last night.
Kielty brings the audience and presenter to an awkward silence after challenging the "Up the 'RA" culture that has emerged in Ireland.

Westminster is not democratic 58% of voters in the last election voted for parties other than Conservatives.
Mogg telling us that freedom means limiting our holiday destinations and the countries whose wine we should buy, (Aussie and NZ). Now, I may be being picky but that doesn’t seem like freedom or democracy to me…

we need a nothing else matters focus on getting this done now
If Northern Ireland is to achive 80% #RenewableElectricity by 2030 projects need to be completed by 2027, unfortunately the #planning system is slowing the development.

Agree take cities back to the 1950s with bicycles, electric buses and trams not private cars
This is a slide I used @WindEnergyIRL last week. We sell on average 100k (regardless of fuel type) cars per year in Ireland, expecting 1m electric cars by 2030 was logistically impossible.

@GreenPartyNI @greenparty_ie in response to those who booed Senator Martin about a new name for a new Ireland you do not understand what it will take to have a stable all island state if you want one
I note Liz Truss said Boris was admired from London to Carlisle so not is Scotland or Northern Ireland then!!!
@GPNIreland We need to make the green electrification of Northern Ireland our No.1 priority
If we are to reach the required 80% renewable electricity by 2030, action is required now to ensure new projects are approaved At #RNIPfG we discussed what is needed with MLAs and planners renewableni.com/policy/progr…

The only way Ireland will be able to be freed from being controlled by international energy prices is to make all our own energy from Wind Solar and water resources.
Spot on from the Business Post today. We need political leaders with courage - in every party - if we’re to have a hope of building a zero-carbon electricity system.
There are some, most in Government parties if I am honest, we need more.
