One third of Ireland's exports is Medical and pharmaceutical products but yet we are still reliant on China for medical supplies during the coronavirus crisis. Coal obsessed China.
During the crisis, the obsession with renewables has being dispensed with and we are now as a nation happy to use fossil fuels guilt free again.
Cargo ships are keeping the nation fed during the crisis.
How are cargo ships fueled ? Heavy fuel oil and marine diesel oil.
And equally important are the diesel fueled lorries going up and down the motorways.
When the chips are down in a crisis like we are now in, reliable energy sources are essential. It's just a fact that fossil fuels are the only option that meets that requirement right now. If Extinction Rebellion got their way, the deaths from coronavirus would be much greater.
