The ghastly nasty lies of LNG. Spooky stories from the amazing @thomas.morelli.artwork about the potential climate disaster that is the proposed Shannon LNG terminal.

US dirty energy company New Fortress Energy has applied for planning permission yet again but we can make our voice heard by submitting an objection to An Bord Pleanala. Add your name to the joint submission to #stopshannonlng before 11am tomorrow!

To the people of Tipperary: until this Friday, the 15th October, Tipperary County Council are accepting submissions as part of their county development plan. This is Tipperary's strategy for the county for 2022-28 that covers many aspects includiny energy, the environment and climate action. We have a handy template (link in bio) with which you can ask Tipperary to plan for a fossil free future in a matter of minutes, take a stance against new fossil fuel infrastructure, for renewable and a just transition.

This will be a big week for our climate targets and the future of Data Centres in Ireland. We're calling for a pause on data centres!

We need to #PressPause by enacting a moratorium on Data Centres. At the moment there is no considered strategy for Data Centre growth. Applications are simply being accepted on the basis of economic growth - with little consideration given to our ill-prepared infrastructure.

What could make more sense than taking a step back and assessing if we can handle this spike in electricity demand? Singapore felt the same way & at just 7% electricity demand they enacted a pause on Data Centres. Meanwhile in 2020 we were reaching 11% with no pause in sight.

Greenwashing is rife in the Data Centre sector, with Taoiseach Micheal Martin dubbing them "eco-structure" last week. The current operation of Data Centres in Ireland is anything but eco-friendly.

Some companies say their data centres are 100% renewable but in reality they rely heavily on carbon offsetting. These offsetting schemes don't change the fact that new fossil infrastructure is being built to support these Data Centres and their enormous demand will increase the risk of energy poverty in Ireland.

Our campaign is simple, let's #PressPause to consider how we can house Data Centres without causing blackouts and locking us into a fossil fuelled future.

The blank cheque needs to end now.

This was just a brief overview of our campaign. Visit our site for our full Data Centre briefing (Link in the bio).

We fully support the efforts this week from @whitmore4wicklow in introducing a moratorium on Data Centres & @people_before_profit Climate Emergency Measures Planning and Development bill.

Keep an eye on our socials for actions to take part in this week!

The heatwave may be over, but the summer of county development plan consultations is not! If you're from Louth, Kilkenny or Galway, make sure to make your voice heard to your council by making a submission to demand fossil free communities with no further energy infrastructure, renewable energy investment, a just transition and community involvement. Using our template and following the steps on our website, you can have your submission in within about 10 minutes.

To the people of Kilkenny: until the 28th of July, you can submit to your county development plan and ask for fossil free communities, renewable energy and a just transition. Follow the link to fossil free communities in our bio (link tree), which will bring you to our website with all the necessary links, info and a template to make your submission. Let's make our communities fossil free!

Have your say to make our counties fossil free! Summer time is here - and so is the time to submit to several county development plans! If you're from/living in one of these counties, just click into the fossil free communities link to our bio and you'll find a step-by-step guide on how to submit to your county development plan, including a template with asks for making counties fossil free, investing in renewables and a just transition. County development plans are strategies covering a number of years, so now is the time to make sure climate is front and centre of these strategies!

Fuel poverty is the inability to heat and power a home. It is a function of three interconnected factors: income, energy prices and energy efficiency. In Ireland, two key Government strategies, Warmer Homes: A Strategy for Affordable Energy in Ireland (2011) and Strategy to Combat Energy Poverty 2016-2019, have aimed to eliminate energy poverty by focusing on energy efficiency. But the objective has been hampered by the difficulty of accessing the schemes in low-income communities and few incentives for landlords to retrofit rental properties. Energy poverty has been linked to negative health impacts, particularly respiratory conditions, cardiovascular disease, and decreased well-being.

A just energy transition that tackles energy poverty must prioritise the needs of those most vulnerable to energy poverty including children, people on low-incomes, and those living in rented accommodation. Furthermore, all climate policy related to energy costs and/or energy efficiency must consider the potential impacts on the fuel poor as those are two key factors that have been linked to energy poverty.

This webinar will open up a conversation about the hidden impact of energy poverty, considering this issue on an individual, community and systemic basis. What challenges do we face in addressing energy poverty? What solutions do we need to overcome energy poverty? How can we influence a nationwide just transition by tackling energy poverty? And why must social justice be embedded in climate action?

Speakers include: Marija Mileta, Head of Communications and Climate Change Programme Assistant, Zelena akcija/Friends of the Earth Croatia; Susanne Rogers, Research and Policy Analyst, Social Justice Ireland; Michelle Kearns, Project Policy Worker, National Traveller MABS (Money Advice and Budgeting Service).

Join our free ‘Data Centres and Energy Demand’

Join our free ‘Data Centres and Energy Demand’ webinar on 11 March. This webinar will examine the topic of data centres and what part they might play in our society, highlighting their social, environmental and economic impacts. Speakers include: Patrick Bresnihan, Lecturer in Geography, Maynooth University, Phoebe Duvall, Planning and Environmental Policy Officer, An Taisce, and Ian Bitterlin, Consulting Engineer and formerly Visiting Professor at the University of Leeds.

Key questions will be explored including: What data is stored in data centres? Could they be more efficient? Do we need them and how should they be powered?

***WEBINAR*** LINK IN BIO*** NHNA is delighted to $***WEBINAR*** LINK IN BIO*** NHNA is delighted to invite you to the first of a series of climate-related webinars. Next Thursday, we'll be exploring Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) infrastructure projects planned for Ireland; why they should be stopped; the debate on energy security and what politicians and the public can do to take action and prevent further fossil fuel infrastructure. We are delighted to be joined by speakers Prof. Barry McMullin (School of Electronic Engineering, DCU) and Frida Kieninger (Food & Water Europe campaign officer working on a ban on fracking in Europe), as well as members of NHNA. Attendees will come away with a stronger understanding of why LNG should not be part of Ireland's energy mix, and the importance of legislating to prevent the construction of LNG terminals in Ireland. Please register to receive the zoom link (registration link in bio). The webinar is free and will take place on the 4th of February from 7-8:15pm.$

Check out our emissions calculations which show that if 5 LNG terminals were built in Ireland it would result in the same CO2e emissions as 12 Moneypoint Coal Power Plants 💨💨💨💨😱😱😱😱😱

It's time to legistate and ban the construction of all LNG terminals now 🛑🛑🛑. LNG is a bridge fuel to #climatebreakdown.

As the year draws to a close we want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best for 2021. This year has been a challenging one for all, sometimes it felt like one big zoom meeting. Gone was the post meeting/demo unwind catch-ups over a pint or tea which we all missed dearly. 2021 brings a new year and as we countinely build the movement in Ireland to #BreakFreeFromFossilFuels and working for a just transition for all communities both here and globally. Look after yourselves, get some rest, be kind and compassionate to you and others and of course have some bants. Catch you all in the new year. 🤶🎅☃️🎄🎁🛷
