Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
In 1973 the socialist Salvador Allende was ousted in a coup by Augusto Pinochet in Chile.At the time it was rumoured that the CIA had helped the coup to facilitate the copper needs of A T & T , the world leader in telecoms back then.
The Green hypocrisy on banning LNG while there is little said of where and how the copper and lithium for renewables comes from.
We've all heard the stories of children digging pits in the DRC in Africa searching for cobalt, However even in more structured countries our renewable needs are destroying whole areas.

Putin earned $20bn from oil in May alone .In the whole of 2021 Russia earned $110bn from oil , so his revenue has more than doubled. I agree with you Battle ,time for Europe to come up with the goods and accept there are now other factors stronger than the Green agenda.
A piece from the Guardian , can't say you haven't been told Eamo. You can add Leo and Micheal as well to that conveniently Gormless mix.
Just think of what the tax take the people of Ireland would get on fuel sources that we import anyway!
"Russia’s war in Ukraine could take years, said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. “We must prepare for the fact that it could take years. We must not let up in supporting Ukraine,” Stoltenberg said. “Even if the costs are high, not only for military support, also because of rising energy and food prices,” he added."
It's a cracker JH.Explains the recent big sell offs,someone always knows....prove it!
Some here argued about fuel security and fuel poverty over the years but Ryan ignores that.He still wants to save the world at our expense.
"Why aren't they drilling? Because they make more money not producing more oil,"Biden on ExxonMobil $43bn profits.
All Ryans waffle about wind displacing Putins oil economy was pure opportunistic greenwashing.If ExxonMobil have made their second highest profits of all time so has Putins oil machine.
This coalition will be crucified by young people on housing in the next election. Hello Shinners,and then what the hell?

Isee that Martin and Varadkar are dropping in the latest polls again.Utter blandness from both while giving Ryan cover to risk our energy security.https://mobile.twitter.com/REDCResearch/status/1530650587305590785?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
Oil at 117.5 Dollars a barrel,what a wasted golden opportunity for this country. Sanctimonious is too light a word for it.Ironically ,Putin is getting more for each barrel now,than before the war. Varadkar and Martin have become the ultimate self serving greenwashers.Instead of using Barryroe to fund the transition to renewables they have balked at any idea of a middle ground.
McDowell was always straight talking like him or not. The current Government are a band of castrati with no individual identity.
