Given idiocy of last week from #fuelprotest and Govt (delay, caving) this from @hannahdaly.ie is worth reposting.
Straits are still closed, no new fuel is available, what will we do next?
(Hint drive less, turn off heat etc).

Let's see why clean energy technologies are so much more energy secure than oil.

A single solar panel (450W) costs about €100, same as a tank of petrol.

How many EV kilometres can the solar panel power compared to the tank of diesel?

Take a guess while I work it out on the back of an envelope.

In my @irishtimes.com op-ed today I argue that our climate law is the best framework we have for making energy secure and affordable, because it tackles the root cause of our vulnerability to energy shocks - our dependence on fossil fuels.

#fuelprotest missed the point, Ireland likely has 86 days of fuel in storage. What are we all doing to save fuel? Next up fertiliser (image from Semafor - half of urea supply blockaded)

This call-to-action is a response to ease pressure on the national grid & support the #ReduceYourUse government policy for reducing energy consumption. We also encourage students & staff to take the opportunity to switch off screens & devices & to mind our mental & physical health during the break.

As many of us look forward to the mid term Halloween weekend, we are asking for your help to make sure no energy vampires are sucking on our power cables this break.Look out for small indicator lights - a telltale sign that electrical equipment is in “standby” mode, not fully off.#ReduceYourUse

Good thread on why Data Centres are more energy efficient than separate servers
Next up our digital hygiene? @gerrymcgovern
#ReduceYourUse and 1) delete all the crap in your personal cloud 2) do the same in your business - plus all those apps you keep (just in case).
