Someone must be very sorry they did not offer more for EUA when they had the chance in 2022. Well played, Christian! You know your ores as well as your onions!

Putin is getting weaker and weaker, belied by all his bluster and cheerleaders on this board. I almost hope he blows it altogether and has to fold sometime next year with a worse deal. What a blundering murderous ass he is, brayed on by his asinine followers on this board who are sorry he couldn’t take Ukraine in its entirety. I refer you to Tim&Co. What a situation to be in where you are a pawn in the paws of the two other ‘great’ leaders. The Chinese are taking full economic advantage of Russia’s plight. Trump can destroy him, any time it suits him. Dictators rarely see eye to eye for long.

The first rule should be to not burn any more imported gas. Instead, we should follow Bord na Móna’s lead by co-locating new data centres in energy parks with secure grid connections, renewable power, battery storage, variable demand management, back-up generators running on hydrogenated vegetable oil and neighbouring industrial processing units, which can use the waste heat.

Because the LLMs are more tolerant to any latency in fibre-optic speeds, the centres could be located closer to our incoming large-scale renewable power supplies. That should reduce the need for spending on the electricity grid, but also see us investing more in the north, south and west – and not just the east coast.

It is not easy to get these cleaner data centres down to zero emissions, but 95 per cent of it can be reached at a relatively low cost. In the process of doing, we will learn how to get to that last 5 per cent. That will give us an industrial skill the rest of the world is going to want in the coming years – using Irish intelligence, backed up by AI. (Today’s Irish Times)

‘May 6, 2025 · The Norwegian parliament on Tuesday ordered the Labour minority government to launch a new frontier areas oil and gas exploration’

What about Ireland when the Greens got t(h)rashed last year? We have mice in Ireland instead of men.

Last time I looked Norway had reintroduced oil and gas exploration licences. Good job too or we would all soon be paying $150 a barrel for crude. 1 oz of Gold currently buys nearly 80 barrels of crude oil - it used to be about 12. Oil could get (very) expensive again and when it does Irish people will ask why their government could not make sound, sane and sensible decisions for a host of valid reasons. A combination of wokery and spinelessness would be part of my answer.

The EU regards gas as a transitional fuel. It was and continues to be absurd that Ireland sets itself up as some kind of ‘conscience of the world’ regardless of any and all all consequences for the country itself. No need to study Samuel Beckett and other playwrights of the ‘Theatre of the Absurd’ when you live in Ireland.

Agreed, Swizz!👍👍 up all the way. Have PRD just confirmed that they too have secured funding? That must be what those Green Shield stamps are all about.

For all holders of LOGP and PRD. Dr S. Boldy is delivering for one and could be very influential in delivering the fortunes of another in Ireland. What incredible backups PG has for his Morocco campaign.

Well, pleased to have been wrong about Santa. Retaining about 2/3 of the proceeds is acceptable if the final amount + interest is around 80-100m. Should be of interest to an RTO partner.

Did I hear TrickyDicky2 say just now that 0 assets x 2 still = 0 assets or was it one of the other smart asses?

Platinum zooms and palladium is not far behind. Cobalt is again over $50000 and copper is getting near $12000 per tonne. My advice to the dithering Mr Hackett is not to miss the 5p mark.Fortune definitely favoured the brave at circa 1.5p!

You mean that b*****d has decided to pretend to stop digging in the hole he has created for himself?

You mean he is going to stop spending about 40% of the annual budget on the military?

Let’s hope for a cracking RNS to greet the New Year. Too late for Santa now. Anything less will be a big disappointment in the first week of January.

Someone please ask CS at the Webinar what he thinks the ancient 17 km long ancient riverbed in the Tipil licence area might be worth. I think we are liable to see a very broad smile from him, as we know he gives nothing away. Well played, Sir!

It is certainly not void of complications. Back in August our board seemed more optimistic. Were they unaware of possible complications at that time? Maybe they assumed too much - that the new Irish government was more rational, for example?

Careful, B/G, you are going to annoy Tim&Co with forthright speech and the plain unadorned truth. As I said a week or two ago that crew are lacking something that most normal human beings have.

Lack of an LU has given LOGP less bargaining power. As the gormlessness of the government becomes more and more evident and the likelihood of a LU recedes, the harder becomes SB’s task. Will he have to eat his words?

Hi, BoldlyGo. No doubt Tim&Co were listening avidly the other week when Lavrov explained just why Russia had not broken the Budapest Memorandum!!

Same, of course, with the Minsk Agreements. Passenger jets, Journalists, the Navalnys of this world, Ukrainian children, airspace, civilians - all subject to sabotage and/or violation.

Don’t ask Tim&Co embarrassing questions - that is, if they are not embarrassed, of course.

After extremely brief due diligence D/D gets his GSS award.

Genuine LTH do not conveniently forget important information like that. I hadn't. Why tolerate that wastrel?
