Haven’t paid a cent for electricity in well over a year thanks to solar. It & wind energy are the future.
That being said, if solar farms are just plonked down near people’s homes / farms I can understand the dramatics, even if I disagree.
Planning teams need to find space for them that is away from populated hubs but close enough for grid connection.
Me at specsavers doing an eye test
I like how many people care more about silly shit like this but don’t give a shit about how coal plants are actually scientifically proven to be causing an actual apocalypse
Well, they should spelled it correctly. Credit where credits due. Despite the ignorance.
Why are people so against stuff like this? Having a renewable energy source attached to your town is only a good thing, especially if it isn’t pumping harmful fumes around your community. With the world, economy and environment becoming more unstable I am all for having more and more renewable energy generation locally so we aren’t as cut off during a global crisis.
Where’s me pitchfork!
I do a lot of driving around this country, and the amount of “Ballygobackwards Says NO to vital infrastructure and future-proofing developments!” Is crazy.
We have some load of work ahead of us as a country.
Someone “did their own research”
Give up electricity so

There’s a village locally that has signs up all over the place objecting to a poultry factory because apparently it’s against the “rural way of living”. Isn’t the farming and processing of animals the literal epitome of rural living?
I was driving from Galway to Wexford a couple of weekends ago and passed through some small village on the way. Forget where it was but there was a sign that said
**<vilage_name> says NO!**
didnt say what they were saying no too. At least from an efficiency pov they can reuse that sign fro everything…
Not sure what’s dramatic about a sparkling clean dashboard
Whoops apocalypse
DROMIN SAYS YES TO EXPENSIVE VOLATILE WORLD ENERGY MARKET!!
Yet another troglodyte doesn’t want his cave to be disturbed by those weird city yokos.
Facebook has a lot to answer for. In my neighbourhood group, and I’m sure it’s the same everywhere else, there are a small group of people with fuck all else to do who moan incessantly about everything new. And because the people who don’t care/support the idea are probably out working or having a life and not commenting, it’s just an echo chamber for anyone impressionable who might be reading it.
Should put up a great big counter sign on the other side of the road…
“Relax lads, it’s not Mad Max — it’s just panels on a field. The only apocalypse is trying to pay your ESB bill without them.”
Yeah I was driving around that part of the country there last month and saw some pure shite like that too. Another one saying “wind farms destroy communities”… like what the actual fuck is going on in these people’s heads. At least try to make sense..?
It is going to take all the sunlight and wind, and tidal waves, and then everything will be dark and no ocean or wind to enjoy!!
My village has started putting up signs against a proposed local wind farm.
It’s very easy to say no without proposing an alternative.
I seriously hope to God people somewhere are studying and trying to figure out how to stop/prevent/treat this absolutely idiocy that seems to be everywhere where people believe the most utter sh!the and attack anything that goes against a post they saw on FB 🤦🏻♂️
Buddy of mine is well down the rabbit hole of conspiracy I don’t know how to help him see the light..he refuses vaccines and likely won’t get his future kids vaccinated, doesn’t wear sun cream anymore causes he thinks it’s bad for him, thinks Trump “has a point” about immigrants 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ and fully believes every word Joe Rogan says.
Hould on mate I forgot to put my glasses on
The Irish Freedom Party are supporting their campaign.
Fucking Facebook man. I think back in the day there was enough of a mix of users to keep things ‘somewhat’ logical but since the younger generations have dropped it for the most part it’s become such a lethal echo chamber.
Tbf I work in solar and I would want a huge battery plant next to my house
Is that Dromin near Listowel?
The solar farms is already affecting cameras and blurring the image.
Solar apocalypse, like that movie Sunshine with Cillian Murphy and Mark Strong. Sounds good
Oh no, the solar farm will ruin the landscape, the view of other gigantic new build one off mansions from my gigantic new build one off mansion!
Massive bog farm 5km outside the village, not defunct since the turf ban, want to turn the site into a wind farm and the complaints are never ending. I mean, who needs free energy when there’s power cuts in the village every month?
Just like this nonsense that happened near me. The “untested” storage in question is an incredibly simple mechanism of storing excess electricity, based entirely on iron, water and air. It is already going to be next to an electricity substation. Typical NIMBY rubbish.
NIMBY hyperbole, in this establishment?! I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you. (Lodges several planning objections in own area, for well founded reasons concerning a local snail.) /s
I seem to have lost my glasses
28 years later: solar farm edition. The reflections of all solar farms globally have started permanent ongoing fires that have engulfed earth. Windmills have enslaved humans and killed every bird.
Lawd. Was this photo taken with a potato? Lol Strong throwback vibes to the Polaroids with a dirty lens
So the apocalypse will be caused by the sun? Tops off.
Well that’s all these people really are at their core, drama queens.
Put them on car parks around shopping centres, supermarkets, airports. They’ll act as cover from rain too.
Yes dramatic.
But I do think it’s really silly to build a solar farm over an empty field.
They should be on top of car parks and big flat buildings like shopping centres and warehouses
