Notas do Editor
- The inevitable transition to a renewable/low carbon energy economy
- Across the island, the environmental costs of 20th century economic growth are all too obvious, from the excessive use of nitrogen and other fertilisers of industrialised forms of agriculture; the pollution of inland waterways from agricultural, industrial and domestic sources; the loss of biodiversity and habitats; unsustainable increases in carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels; patterns of land use and urban and suburban development which each year decrease green spaces; to the congestion and pollution associated with an explosion of privatised car transport onto a road and transport infrastructure than cannot sustain it and making, for example, Northern Ireland one of the most car-dependent parts of Europe.
- Eamon Ryan (March 12 th 2008 in the Dail) “As our all-Ireland grid study, to which I referred earlier, shows there is a significant requirement for us to urgently build a series of grid connections — we would have to do this in any event to upgrade our grid, even if we were not changing our energy policy direction — it is right for us to treat this on a national basis rather than on a project-specific basis because the lessons we learn in one area will obviously apply elsewhere.”
