Climate Action Plan: All Plan, little action?
Darragh and Anna are joined by special guest, Tom Spencer of Irishevs.com to review the news and talk about all things EV. Tom gives us lots of insights into the market for EV's and how they are still the most economical cars to run.
COP27 loss and damage agreement -- ground breaking but also not enough.
Lots of developments closer to home this week: There’s an energy windfall tax, offshore wind plans, rising ev running costs, a biodiversity report and news on the climate action plan.
