Humans brought this plant= protestant settlers brought this plant, check on biodiversity Ireland, all the mosy invasive plants are near large firmer estates and the six counties have the most invasive species by far.

Surely it makes more sense to farm beef than grow grass exclusively for energy as this is the only way Irish farmers are surviving atm. However, any remaining grass and slurry would provide a great secondary income to farmers at a time that they are struggling as well as help reduce the €2 million fine from the cancellation of methane from slurry spraying.
The methane is converted into co2 and the sun strip's the o2 through photosynthesis and converted it to carbon so the greenhouse gases only feed the cow's to produce greenhouse gases
If you listen to your own bullshit for long enough, you start to believe it.
Anywhere with no people and development is filled with horrible Sitka Spruce monoculture plantations and ghastly wind farms for ‘climate change’ which just means a ruse to fill more wealthy financiers accounts even higher and higher.

THANK 🌉 YOU
Where are all the affordable houses never happen
Great Video, clearly a true pathway to the future, thanks for sharing
You really shouldn't spray glyphosate without wearing a moonsuit. And no it doesn't stay where you spray it, that's industry hype. Do you really want to drink it... because I don't
Its a shame this is not taken more seriously.
The whole CO2 BS is to get you to take your eye off the ball ......... CO2 is not the problem
If you injected manure into the soil you would have no smell and better water quality.
Good Documentary, How can we risk damaging Bantry Bay with a Toxic Salmon Farm that will kill all Marine Life,
Great video, thank you for making it on a very important subject not only in Ireland but in Britain too. Still see loads of peat compost for sale in garden centres though.
I just love curlews.
No talk of the demand side (immigration) Let's just pave over all of the countryside and have no nature left
Such great video to demonstrate how we can safeguard our environment by proper disposal and recycling them.

at 2:57 did he really just say it produces 120,000 Thousand liters of gas per year? Not a chance - Maybe he meant to say ml which is around 32gallons of gas per year - which if so - is still very useful for that size
People with money just want to build one-offs in the countryside. It's ludicrous as it's unsustainable, results in a hollowing out of the towns and destroys the landscape. No other developed country is so laissez faire regarding this hugely unsustainable form of "development".
In the states we have Buckthorn taking over everything. Some areas they are almost half of all plants. I would trade with something that has a beautiful flower.
I think it was a misnomer 😂 he intended to say grass for arse 😂😂😂
Sounds like a waterfall or the beach.
Can someone connect me to a company that is providing technology and turnkey solution for converting Energy Crops to Bio-gas?
Moneypoint powerstation was built in the early 80s. It was the future at the time and polish coal imported was the fuel to be used. Now I believe it will switch to oil. As a bord na mona apprentice in Derrygreenagh in the early 80s , Moneypoint was one of my only chances to get a job and stay in ireland....... wasnt to be . Strangely I have worked in the oil and gas for the past 40 years and its now under pressure. I wonder where we will be in 20 years time. Knowing what we know about carbon footprints now , the whole idea of polish coal being imported seems like a daft idea. I wonder how much the goverment held back at the time. I am sure the narrative will change again as we get on the energy "merry go rounds". Looking back , my apprenticeship at Bord Na Mona was the best thing I ever done. All the skills I learned there while becoming a fitter have never let me down. Now a days at the ripe old age of 60 , my job options have never been better as the world is so used to touch screens and no one wants dirty hands it seems!
We could learn a thing or two from you re: illegal dumping on Vancouver Island: although we certainly have a deposit system here. But old furniture and such? And the deposit system helps, hugely with what we call “ pickers”, the homeless who earn their living off empties. Still a huge amount of litter here, though, and in Vancouver. Hard to know what to do. I work at Regional Recycling, for the record.
This documentary is already five years old the producers probably won't read this comment but if you do - and there is still some rhododendron left - leave it alone please. There is no such thing as an "invasive species" (except kudzu maybe). I may sound like a hippie but with plants, theres always a reason why they are there. For example: Some time in the early 90's (i think) Impatiens glandulifera was brought to us, by accident. And at first, people were worried it would smother our native plants. So, people resorted to plucking it out, just like you did with the rhododendron. But, it didn't harm any of our plants here. It's now very popular with beekepers because it provides nectar when most other plants are not blooming anymore. And it looks gorgeous and is edible too! So, even if it's not yet clear why it grows in your beautiful oak forests, there most definetely is a reason for it. Just try to observe it in it's new habitat and see which impact it will have. Just a friendly suggestion from a fellow nature lover who would love to visit Ireland 😉
It's a shame the government is reducing all the grants

This is happening all over the UK as well as Ireland. I've been fly fishing for over 40 years and seen the decline. Little fly life left, loss of natural stocks of fish. Land has been drained and nutrients and chemicals spread and natural areas of landscape that filtered and protected a catchment, turned to so-called "improved grazing". Streams that swarmed with fly life and trout are gone or severely depleted. Its utter greed and arrogance encouraged by Govts.
Surely those small rhodo seedlings can be pulled out instead of herbicide spray which would be used on larger specimens?
Wishing that Mr Stewart would just fucc off home. Like Mr Green Ryan he enjoys being miserable

EWI fitted here (house in the south east of the Netherlands), combined with tripple glazed windows and flat roof insulation, still to do is insulation of the pitched roof and partially the ground floors. Also HRMV and underfloor heating with heat pump still to do, for now I already save 60% on my energy bills, heating is with air to air at the moment which is already proven sufficient to -5°C. The house was rated G, but in practice energy consumption per m² was more like E/F (gas consumption 35000-40000kWh/yr for 210m²) . Energy consumption now akin A and after fitting solar it will rate A++ or even A+++. But I get it certified once everything is done Deep retrofitting is well funded by grants in Ireland, here in the Netherlands it's 30% of the cost at max, a fixed rate per m² of insulation is granted and for heat pumps, solar boilers etc which are listed. But you always have to apply for two measures to get the max of 30%, otherwise they will only grant 15%. And it has to be installed by a certified company, no grants on DIY, this is to guarantee that installation is done correctly, although in practice I would have done a better job in some aspects and often it will also be cheaper even without the grant. EWI and heat pump are/will be done by a contractor however.

Stupid fuckin' environmentalists. How do they even have the guts to call themselves that? I have no sympathy for such people. They are still infected by the "fall of man" myth from Genesis. "Nature was perfect before humans interferred. So any change that happens in the natural ecosystem as a result of our action must necessarily be bad." That's their half-brained reasoning, not understanding that invasive plants have mostly positive attributes. Their reasoning goes completely against any ecological concepts. Nature spreads it has always done that. Nothing about us spreading seeds across biogeographic barriers is anything new. Also here's the death blow to your dumbass reasoning: Rhododendron ponticum did grow in Britain before the last glacial maximum. Get a grip on facts and stop keeping plant-poison salesmen rich.
Can biogas be made from grass alone?
Climate change is a massive con to make the Global Elites richer and the poor poorer. Wake up you are all being scammed.
