- By registering with MPS as one person mentioned, government letters will not be received is propergander, I question this as we received a non addressed letter from our Council with a suggested Tree Preservation Order asking we agreed, disagreed or suggested that more trees be added.

- Are we really making any difference by changing to Airtricity? As I understand it, Airtricity do not have enough renewable energy supply so top up from the grid. As more people sign up with Airtricity they will just top up more from most likely ESB supplied sources. I think only way to really make a difference here is to supply your own. is there another approach?

As long as we and this planet are in existence these sources of energy will be abundant in supply for all our needs.
What are these so…
