Don't know at what level it is running at the moment but, when producing it's full 900MW, Moneypoint devours up to 7,000 tonnes of coal per day. It's consumed that every day for the last 30years. That's a lot of coal!

Critics say any federal support that props up the growing U.S. LNG industry will doom efforts to reach international goals to contain the climate crisis. interc.pt/3jm1zZF

There's just been an absolute whopper of a grid event on the Irish electricity system. Grid frequency floated around 49.75Hz for ~15 minutes! Back @ 50Hz now..
(I now see Coolkeeragh CCGT 425MW was the cause)
Never seen this (the duration of dip) in my 11yrs of working on grid

Surprising that we make so little use of the power of falling water in the country. It is not as if it is in short supply!
Tiny battery charging turbine shown here is producing 75w electrical with just 0.5lts/sec flow and a head pressure of 3 Bar.

Interesting that one of the proposed solutions to grid collapse mentioned in the article is 'encouraging homeowners to install battery backup systems'.
In other words, distributed generation. nytimes.com/2021/02/16/clima…
Kerry Woolen Mills hydro project progressed well in 2020 in spite of Covid. Ready for arrival of Kaplan turbine from Czech company Hydrohrom in March, travel restrictions permitting.

There WILL come a day when most climate activists and climate scientists find it repugnant to fly in planes.
Better sooner than later as it will increase the public's sense of climate urgency.

The world’s first fossil-free hydrogen-powered steel plant located in northern Sweden will begin operations on Monday 31st August.
The HYBRIT project alone could reduce Sweden’s carbon dioxide emissions by 10% and Finland’s by 7%, respectively.
