Famine, not war, can kill entire nations, leaving devastation in its wake. Ireland’s Great Famine (1845-1849) tragically claimed a million lives and forced two million to emigrate. We must remember this, or risk repeating it globally. Today, Just Stop Oil (JSO) in the UK and Ireland demands a de facto ban on tractors on public…

Do you believe €200 oil is a fantasy? Think again. The world is in turmoil, with bans and destruction of oil infrastructure becoming the norm, and supply chains collapsing before our eyes. All of this leads to one thing – an unstoppable surge in oil prices and all its derivatives. How is Ireland, and indeed…

What % of shortage of any product do you think can empty the shelves? Have you ever wondered why, when a storm is announced on TV, milk and bread disappear from the stores in a matter of hours? It would seem that the stock was huge, and the storm has not even begun. The answer…

Let’s calculate how much we pay for home heating and hot water. In Ireland, you can heat your home using various methods and fuel types. The main ones are kerosene, bottled gas, and, of course, electricity. I understand that this isn’t particularly relevant right now due to the warm weather and summer, but things will…

You can increase the range of any electric car by 30-50% using a simple skill! Urban Recuperation: An Inefficient Waste of Energy The recuperation system in the city is extremely inefficient. Only 10-20% of the energy is returned to the battery, the rest is wasted as heat. Manufacturers do not emphasize this, but this means…

What if electricity had never existed? Imagine a world without electricity. No light bulbs, no telegraphs – just human ingenuity powered by steam, mechanics and chemistry. How would civilization function? Our modern world could thrive without a single electron. Cities would glow with sophisticated gas lighting and advanced kerosene lamps. Homes would use sophisticated mechanical…

Ireland’s Climate Action Plan is a comprehensive document covering energy, business, housing, heating, transport, agriculture, waste, and the public sector. Its goal is to achieve carbon emission reduction targets by 2030 and net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The plan includes over 180 actions and hundreds of sub-actions. Examples of the Plan’s Goals: Questions and Concerns…

Recent events, including successful SBU operations attacking airfields in Russia, prompt reflection on the vulnerability of critical infrastructure. The question arises: could a relatively small sum of money (e.g., €800-€1200) seemingly be enough to cause a nationwide blackout? Recent events regrettably suggest this is entirely possible. The entire purpose of power grids is to distribute…

Imagine this: when the wind blows outside, your home is warm. For coastal properties, this is now a reality thanks to the “Mechanical Heat Pump.” Install this system once, and you and your neighbors will have heating and hot water (up to 50°C) for a minimum of 25 years. Isn’t this the stability everyone is…
