Providence Res. Share Price (PVR)

Great post about the closure of railways. I'm an old Network Rail man and fully agree with you what a f $$kup this was

Perhaps there is some method to the ongoing silence, as it is looking extremely bleak for industry and consumers,..GL S

“Europe Faces Bleak Winter Energy Crisis Years in the Making”

“It could get very ugly unless we act quickly,” Snam CEO says

“Green push has meant years of underinvestment in fossil fuels”

“Faced with surging gas and electricity prices, countries from the U.K. to Germany will need to count on mild temperatures to get through the heating season. Europe is short of gas and coal and if the wind doesn’t blow, the worst-case scenario could play out: widespread blackouts that force businesses and factories to shut.”

We won't need Providence if Ryan gets his way and we have to all go back to riding bicycles and the other suggestion that country people don't need lights but can use torches to get home at night in villages and towns when he gets the street lights turned off. And yes, we must stop those data centres being built in Ireland. And perhaps farmers should go back to hand milking cows and not use electric automated milkers and not sterilise the milk. Hopefully, he would get a dose of brucellosis which is just about as bad as Mad Cow Disease.

And I like his suggestion of having a rail link all the way to Derry from Cork. How long does he think it will take to travel that far and who in their right mind would want to travel from Cork to Derry by train? And if he is so keen on railways how about resurrecting the Achill line which was abandoned years ago and is now a cycle path for tourists.

The more scatterbrained schemes he comes up with the more people will realise what an absolute fool the man is. And how about the West Clare Railway closed in 1961. Brendan O'Dowda would turn in his grave if that was resurrected because it is the famous song "Are you right there, Michael, are you right?" which was written about that one.

Interesting link which shows how Ireland's rail network has reduced from 2025. Perhaps Ryan would like to resurrect all of these that have disappeared. The graphic in the following shows the demise.

I think Linn is playing a crafty game. The worse the problem becomes with fracked gas, shortages creating spiraling costs and Russia curbing gas supplies, Germany now in dire straits of blackouts, England being in danger of blackouts from power stations being switched off the better the case for developing Barryroe.

And it is interesting that the "naughty" gas CO2 is also now a shortage for the meat trade and other industries. I didn't realise it was used to stun cattle before they are killed in abattoirs. I thought we had too much of the stuff but it seems it is in short supply.

The current situation in the European natural gas markets, is capturing the attention of the UK media and government, Ireland’s turn next?, plus interesting to note that European gas prices have risen sharply again at the end of the week and Dutch TTF posted a 4.6% gain, just below the record high of earlier this week and European gas is now trading at the equivalent of ~$22.5 per mBtu (that's ~$130 per barrel of oil equivalent), it certainly adds a different dynamic to the Barryroe economic model, …GL S

“Gas price rises prompt urgent government talks”

“Natural gas prices are at record highs as economies around the world begin to recover from the Covid crisis.”

“In the UK, lower winds have meant less renewable energy is generated. There have also been outages at some nuclear stations and lower flows into the UK of natural gas from Norway, pushing up the price of natural gas.
It is understood the discussions with senior figures from the UK's energy sector were requested urgently.“
