Anybody know whats going on now with regards this fantastic project. I saw lately on Irish Times that Enercon (a german wind turbine manufacturer) is readying to set up in west of ireland to build the turbines for this project.

I am amazed at the self interested objections of people who have not even taken the time to investigate the potential of this project for the good of all the Irish population.

Asked the same question this time last year,, When , when , when.... this looks like a no brainer. why are people not jumping up and down about this.

We should be leaders in Europe with generating power from these means - instead land locked counties are leading the way- what is wrong with the way we think? Are we afraid to be pioneers - do we want some other country to come to us and take our resources. We should invest now with the little money we have - forget the Metro and invest in this. the money will come back to us in spades especially when price of oil becomes prohibitive.

What has happened to this idea?

I have tried to follow this project for 18 months and cant believe that it has not started yet nor can I understand why the people who obviously support the idea are starved of information

when,, when , when,, is this project going to get the media time it deserves, if the general public were made aware of it, the potenial is imense here,, once we finally learn from our previous experience and put the people first, let the professionals run it and keep the politicans away form it as much as possible,, but when when when are going to see this back in the news..

Why isn't this project in the front pages of the media. The potential our country to become energy independent after 5 years is unbelievable. Exporting energy thereafter, to generate income with no raw materials used thereafter would put our economy back on track.

The money lost the Anglo debacle could have built this project. Why it hasn't been already started is beyond belief. It would give the country a great boost in so many ways.

Spirit of Ireland Group

About the Speech:

Graham O'Donnell and Professor Igor Shvets presented and discussed the group’s recently announced strategy to make Ireland energy independent within 5 years and a net exporter of energy thereafter through the large-scale deployment of wind farms and hydro storage on the West Coast of Ireland. Through the use of Wind Power they hope to change Ireland's energy landscape.
