They'd be better off with (and are building out) offshore and onshore wind. If you've ever been to the west coast of Ireland you'll know they've got almost unlimited wind energy. The country is targeting 5GW of capacity by 2030 and 37GW in the distant future[1].

If only they could harness the power of rain, Ireland would truly be an energy superpower.

Maybe the difference is made up by renewables and not oil?
