Gas is Dirt Cheap. Only Politicians Make Energy Expensive Sun Jul 27, 2025 07:00 | Ben Pile
Gas is ? or should be ? dirt cheap because it's abundant and easy to extract, store and transport. Only politicians infected with the neo-Malthusian green mind virus make energy expensive, says Ben Pile.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7It is quite shocking how much video is on indymedia ireland today. Good shocking.
It is disgusting what those arseholes are doing, robbing the low paid.
The Fianna Fail/developer/banker/government caused this crisis. They cannot solve it. They must be got rid of. Let the protests coalesce into a general strike and demand that the government resign. Otherwise catastrophe is inevitable. (the Irish Green Party will live in infamy)
.
Why should the lower paid bail out the "Gamblers of the golden Circle"?.The national natural resources belong to the people of Ireland and should be used for their benefit.STOP this government gambling away our childrens future.Undo the GAS/OIL DEALS while we still can .IF we dont we will regret it for evermore.what is there to lose by trying?we should not be scared of driving the oil companies away.WE will still have our GAS/OIL for a future wiser generation.
The CPSU is strongly in favour of the Lisbon Treaty which is very much against workers rights. Why should we support them now? They will be out supporting Lisbon in the next referendum.
...Bazooka, especially at this critical time. Better to get involved in the campaign against Lisbon 2 and try educate and inform CPSU workers etc, and today would be a great time to start. Try telling them that Lisbon 2 is the same as Lisbon 1, it's just a recoding of the Gobbledeegook Gazette that is the 'treaty', with the aim of achieving the same results, which is the continued domination of capitalists over workers. Try and keep it as simple as possible.
Information such as: how can we trust faceless right wing bureaucrats/politicians in another country when we have no trust in our own gangster politicians who are in cahoots with gangster bankers/developers/speculaters? Information such as: workers rights will be almost eradicated or put back years if this 'treaty' gets through.
By encouraging 'us against them' you are doing what the government want, which is to divide and conquer, or in our case, reconquer. But I'm guessing you know all this already and are probably also an anti Lisbon campaigner, but let us be positive, optimistic, and above all, UNITED!
The old adage, 'An injury to one is an injury to all', will always be a truth.
