Show notes

The latest EPA report shows that Ireland will at best achieve a 23% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, which is substantially lower than the 51% target. It also suggests a backwards step from last year’s projection of 29%, so what is going on? In the latest episode of Behind the Story Fran and David pick the brain of RTÉ’s Environment Correspondent George Lee to try figure out why Ireland is so behind. And while they have him, they also ask for some advice on things such as EVs, retrofits, solar panels and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
