Absolutely spot on from @pbp_ireland. Our dependence on warmongers is crippling ordinary people. The cost of living crisis is the price of war. Time for energy independence and real neutrality. #IrishNeutrality #CostOfLivingCrisis #USMilitaryOutOfShannon

@NiamhMurphy1995 @paulmurphy_td hi got ideas :D who is in? :D
@wordmark @paulmurphy_td Sound. I'm in. What's the idea? 
What does the new £1bn investment in community energy really mean?

It’s the largest public investment in community-owned green power in the UK to date. But what exactly is being promised, and how can communities get involved?

Positive News
@wordmark @paulmurphy_td That's a good shout actually, cheers for the link. Community energy is definitely part of the picture. But I think the bigger thing is that Irish people need to be crystal clear about what we want, and our politicians need to start putting their own people first for a change. Anyone who feels the same has to make their voice heard and keep the pressure on them. That's the only way this shifts
@NiamhMurphy1995 @paulmurphy_td it's possible to combine small solar like 4 to 8 panels and small wind at the 48V (car) battery
@wordmark @paulmurphy_td Yeah but that's not much use to most ordinary people. That kind of thing only works for a certain crowd who've got money to spare. If you're well off, you can do all that and inflation doesn't really hit you the same. We need something that works for everyone, no matter what they earn
@NiamhMurphy1995 @paulmurphy_td okay guys have you heared of #balconysolar ? :D https://balkonkraftwerk-express.de/products/hoymiles-hms-2000 currently working on this deal, you tell me how much you pay per #kWh and how much #kWh you need per year and you pay me less per kWh for every kWh produced by the #balconysolar no upfront costs :D

@wordmark @paulmurphy_td That's actually interesting, haven't heard of balcony solar before. Fair play for trying to cut the upfront cost. Still, most people I know are just about covering tonight's dinner and the electric bill, never mind sorting their own panels. I think the wider system needs to change first. Appreciate the info though.
@NiamhMurphy1995 @paulmurphy_td okay then send me some videos you campaigning in front of your local #energycompany but highly doubt it will change anything. Another idea is to make a "Energiegenossenschaft" every citizen chipsnin with 50 bucks to invest in 1 big windmill, its very good also
@wordmark @paulmurphy_td Fair enough, we see it differently. I think real change comes from pressure and protest, not just gadgets. Good luck with the energy work. Sound
