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 Is this finding in time to save Irish cetaceans still relying on outdated noise impact guidelines for their safety?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 @MattShanahanTD

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…

Geophysical surveys ongoing just five miles off Tramore. Capable of causing temporary or permanent hearing damage in cetaceans. Energia have already completed this. Why are we doing it again? Coastwatch Tramore Eco Group Fair Seas @MattShanahanTD Kevin O'Sullivan

tortoiseshack.ie/1334-the-plann… The planning bill to be guillotined through today goes against democracy and will leave the public without a voice on planning for generations to come. Please contact all FG, FF and GP TDs. Request a pause and Aarhus compliance review of this bill.

This article quotes the wind industry lobby group seven times. There are no other quotes. Irish Times doing PR for the wind industry. Why? Ireland’s 2030 wind farm targets may not be hit ‘until 2044’ due to ‘broken’ planning system irishtimes.com/environment/cl…

Playing to the crowd! 22GW of renewables when our national demand is only 7GW. What is all this energy for? Floating wind is a proven technology. Why build a test site and waste more time?

Solar is now 250% cheaper per W than Offshore wind (or € for € of taxpayers / communities cash spent.) But the concrete lobbyists who get the concrete in the build, and the offshore wind won’t say ‘we’ve made a mistake’ but most certainly departments & TD’s? 100% dig a bigger
