The future is green, but we need visionaries to spark the revolution

AS we enter a period of unprecedented economic, social and political crisis, I am amazed at the lack of an alternative vision and programme of action to meet these challenges from any section of Irish society.

With the onset of global warming and a looming economic depression now is the time for this country to become energy self-sufficient as a springboard for future growth and continued prosperity.

As low corporation tax was a factor in the emergence of the Celtic Tiger, so green energy sustainability could be the engine for Ireland’s future economic viability and social progress.
