Sir, – Ireland stands at a critical juncture in its climate action journey. Our national emissions reduction targets are ambitious – and increasingly unattainable.
The Environmental Protection Agency warns that we will only achieve a 29 per cent reduction by 2030, falling dramatically short of our 51 per cent commitment under the Climate Act.
I wonder if, or hopefully how many, of Ireland’s population will consider how a proportion of nuclear energy, delivered through one of the recent interesting types of small modular reactor, could greatly improve our situation? – Yours, etc,
ANNE BAILY (Dr)
