Any bets on the objection that gets it rejected? Mine is disruptive to fishing boats

“It will be located between 13km to 22km off the Wicklow coast and will connect to the Irish grid at Poolbeg in Dublin.”
As someone living in Saggart I must object, this will steal our mild wind or something…..

Great Scott, Marty – that’s all we need…..!!

Can’t wait for some dipshit to launch a judicial review objecting if it finally is granted permission.

The country simply needs these projects to get over the line.
A preemptive ‘fuck you’ to anyone thinking of objecting.

I object.

Will this make electricity more expensive again and not cheaper?

I don’t really think that the idea that turbines impose a visual impact should be much entertained as a reason for objecting to them.
There’s an interesting tension though. Larger turbines are becoming favoured. This generally means fewer turbines (which I think does look, or at least has the potential to look, neater) but does mean that they are more easily visible from shore, even when they are far out.

A 100m tall turbine, 13km offshore, when viewed by someone from the shore, the visible part of the turbine would look less than maybe 10mm tall.
I’m sure someone will be upset about their view being destroyed

Like why are they even submitting a planning application, it’s not even on the island of Ireland?
Just get on with it…

Recently saw a huge wind farm 18 km out. I found it landscape transforming

When fusion or whatever comes along and makes the turbines uneconomic to maintain, the objectors grandchildren will object to the loss of the beautiful and traditional view.

Codling?! Jayyysus, my dad worked on media and communications for this project wayyyyy back in like… I want to say maybe 2003 or 2004? I assumed it had either been built or abandoned years ago! How is it still not even at a decision stage?

Hopefully it doesn’t get tied up.
I’d thought the Oriel windfarm in Louth was blocked but they are supposedly submitting applications soon, or so sayeth their website update in May.

I object! It might interfere with Russian submarines going about their peaceful business. Yours sincerely, I Filatov.
