Lack of long-term master plan for Irelands energy sector, @ibec_irl CEO claims at @WindEnergyIRL conference https://t.co/h7j9V4SCU3

[Lesley O'Connor @lesleyoc]

@moranjustin @WindEnergyIRL @ibec_irl I'd be careful not to frame this as an either:or thing. It's not about domestic supply or exports. Importantly we create even more domestic opportunity, by master planning and committing to the larger export opportunity. I'd like to discuss.

@solar_chase @YayoiSekine Jenny, how deep is the interconnection in the models? How material is the problem of low wind AND solar at the same time in a deeply interconnected future, or is it mainly an issue for the "messy middle" mod-transition?

[Lesley O'Connor @lesleyoc]

@JMulliganIndo Classic. Thanks for sharing John

@valbreastcare I just heard this interview for the first time today Valerie. Not sure if it was the last but certainly one of the very last. And he was in flying form!

[Lesley O'Connor @lesleyoc]

@cooper_m One of my favourite interviews. Thanks Matt

@LansdowneFC @UCDRugby What a lovely tribute from his first two rugby teams. Thank you

To those who opposed a clear reference to phase out of fossil fuels during the #COP28 Climate Conference, I want to say:

Whether you like it or not, fossil fuel phase out is inevitable. Let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.

[Eamon Ryan @EamonRyan]

We are into the final days at #COP28 and it’s all to play for.
To phase out fossil fuels we have to phase up renewables - particularly in the developing world - and phase in the financing and investment that is needed to drive the transition - fast and at scale. #ClimateFinance

[Lesley O'Connor @lesleyoc]

Well said George.
It's not my country's government and I don't get a say but it is shocking to observe from across the water. such policies makes us all ask what could be put on the table here at home in future, under other powers.

A Goverment of sadists “who want to beat up some of the most vulnerable & traumatised people on earth in order to distract attention from the Goverment’s own failures” @GeorgeMonbiot 🙏👏#RwandaBill

[George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot]

The COP process is broken - broken *by design*. Can it be fixed, or should it be bypassed altogether? I explore some options.

Jo Brand, comedian extraordinaire, translates my climate science for real people.

As she says "If people like me have to get involved you know we are in deep trouble"

"You don't get to be racist and Irish." None of us do.
And *thank you* to all those who have *chosen* to make Ireland their home. In so doing you make our home, our culture, the richer for it. You are so very welcome here 💖

[Imelda May @ImeldaOfficial]

As important as ever

Thanks Matthew Rose-Nel for making and adding @rachelmaehannon vocals 💚

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

The oil & gas industry faces a moment of truth at #COP28

It must choose: keep fueling the climate crisis or embrace the shift to clean energy.

Today, its efforts aren’t encouraging. It accounts for under 1% of global clean energy investment.

These pitiful thugs are not us. They do not act for us, speak for us or burn buses for us
