Each Thursday on Galway Talks, "Powering Prosperity with Renewable Energy Ireland" shines a spotlight on the future of clean energy.
Each week, host John Morley talks with industry experts and academics on the essential developments of Ireland’s indigenous, carbon-free energy sources. From wind and solar to breakthrough innovations, the conversation highlights how these technologies are not only reducing emissions but also driving economic growth and job creation.
As the nation embraces a more sustainable future, this weekly feature continues to inspire listeners with real stories shaping Ireland’s energy transformation.
