"Wind energy is an Irish success story, driving down electricity costs for consumers, cutting millions of tonnes of CO2 emissions every year and securing a homegrown energy future that doesn't depend on importing fossil fuels."
The 37 per cent share of electricity demand amounted to more than 2.8 million MWh of electricity, compared to 2.7 million in the first quarter of 2018. The average Irish household uses approximately 4.5 MWh of electricity every year.
The total installed capacity of Ireland's wind farms has now risen to 3,700 MW, approximately enough to power 2.2 million Irish homes annually.
Ireland is becoming green in more ways than one.

Could I have a drug overdose?

Maybe it's a lot of bastards playing bagpipes near turbines, but I think farting sheep are funnier (and sound better) than mere bagpipes.

How many Irish have you ever met, who weren't full of hot air? I've met four or five in my lifetime - all the rest can keep those wind turbines running full time!
