Saying this is greenwashing is rather extraordinary doublespeak and is an element of the contrarian cynicism that just muddies the waters.

Ireland relied upon overwhelmingly greenhouse gas producing power generation in years past. This year they're on target to hit 1/3 of their power generation from wind power. That is fantastic, and is a remarkable accomplishment. There is no "greenwashing". Throwing in the momentary wind percentage is absurd in the context.

Also, I don't think it's true. It is currently windy in dublin.

I trust you, but Dublin is not Ireland.
