Wow - this is a good one. In most regions, power grid system costs are the worst in the fossil-fuel-explosion scenario - in Europe and China, it's cheapest in the 'net zero' scenario
> grid costs are way lower than costs saved on fuel purchasing!!

Yep, agreed.
He backs climate when it suits him eg building out renewables but in the article he complains about the passenger cap on Dublin Airport and describes it as "throttling flights".
Those aren't the comments of someone who really cares about the climate.

Tháinig mé! After 12 hours this photo is the best I can do, zooming away from the port with my dad.
It's sooo good to be home.
Thanks everyone who followed along! I hope it was entertaining and even a bit useful 😊

The great thing about ferries is you have so much space to spread out. Even better as a foot passenger, you get on before everyone else so you can find your favourite spot.
This lounge has comfy seats, decent tables, plugs and of course wifi.
The view might be grey but it looks a lot like home!

A Ryanair worthy waiting area...but only 5m later we're on the bus and 5m after that we've arrived at the ferry.

Well I needn't have worried, I made it to Holyhead with plenty of time.
Another lovely little train station. And a 3-minute walk to the ferry passenger terminal next door making this transfer the easiest so far.

This train to Holyhead is decidedly older stock, more cramped and a bit overheated but the WiFi is excellent!
I don't want to take photos over others' heads but the scenery is stunning on this route. We went right past the spectacular Conwy Castle and I can see offshore wind farms off the coast.
