JohnnyT: Not in this country. But the EU and the Japanese have worked well so far to build workable fusion reactors. There's an experimental one in France as far as I know.

Nuclear energy would easily satisfy our needs and likely will do for hundreds and hundreds of years to come. Fusion particularly since the resources required are so abundant and such small amounts produce such great power.

But there is a problem with Nuclear energy in that so many Irish people seem dead-set against it! Does anyone here feel that way? It seems to me that we are always giving out about the Sellafield Recator.


Maybe this has changed? They are on to 4th generation Nuclear power plants now. The Worlds first Nuclear power plant opened June 27th 1954 Obninsk Russia, The changes I am sure since then are enormous. It might not be that hard to convince Irish people to think Nuclear.

patrickthomas: I just got a leaflet in the post from a private company selling solar panels for heating.
There was an address for the grants:


Has anyone looked into using solar panels for water heating and the grants that are available?


Not personally but a family member has just built a house using solar panels.....remarkable
