Ireland rarely gets mentioned in energy terms.\u00a0 I have read about big battles over offshore gas finds on the West coast and I know Ireland used to get a lot of its electricity from unsustainable peat, but the rise of Irish wind power has crept up on me.\u00a0 A high voltage DC interconnecter has recently opened to the UK.\u00a0 This means both countries can iron out excess or shortages of power.\u00a0 What I don’t know is whether the wind industry in Ireland has a lot of opposition as it has here.<\/p>\n

Obviously Ireland being a small windy country will find it easier to its needs from wind than a larger country like the UK or Germany, but its still very impressive.\u00a0 Well done Ireland.<\/p>\n
