FES Phantasmagoria Sun Jul 20, 2025 19:00 | David Turver
The UK energy operator's Future Energy Scenarios 2025 is a conceited phantasmagoria of fever dreams and delusions, says David Turver ? uncosted, unproven and utterly disconnected from reality.

Fantastic piece of researching. Have sent protest email to the addresses above. Thanks + keep it up.
All Italian companies have had an appalling record on workplace accidents and deaths for years. I believe it is one of the worst in the EU.
Since the 1st January 2010 (basically 6 months)
526 workers have been killed in the workplace.
There have been
526,668 accidents that left workers injured and
13,166 workers have been made invalids.
Obviously these figures are nationwide and refer to all occupations, industry, agriculture and the construction business but they are similar every year. Lack of oversight, drive to profit, ignorance and a "you don't count and we don't care" attitude have all been identified as factors.
Knowing this Irish workers should be very cautious in taking jobs with Italian companies and Irish authorities should know they will have their work cut out trying to enforce EU safety regulations. I presume they are basically applied in Ireland as, to the best of my knowledge, with all due proportion, we do not have similar figures for workplace accidents and deaths.
