Briquettes, beef and emissions

Sir, – How will all these electric cars get here? Will they come, like the Polish briquettes replacing Irish ones, on diesel-powered ships?

Is the aim to reduce emissions in Ireland or global emissions? And if the latter, wouldn’t it be better to eat Irish beef than Brazilian beef brought in on yet more diesel-powered ships?

– Yours, etc,
