- A Donegal student looks at how energy might be harvested from the wind.
Patrick Grady, a young student from Falcarragh Community School in Donegal was a runner-up in the Aer Lingus Young Scientist Exhibition in 1979 with a project about generating heat from wind energy.
‘There For The Taking’ traces the story of Patrick Grady looking to use the wind to power Patrick McGinley’s electric bike.
The noise and pollution created by traffic in the Donegal town of Letterkenny gets Patrick Grady thinking about creating an alternative environmentally friendly means of transport using energy generated from wind.
He tests out the level of power generated by the wind while traveling by car.
‘There For The Taking’ was broadcast on 3 January 1980.

Reopening of the Western Rail Corridor would bring back Donegal trains should have been done years ago.
I wonder what he makes of all the wind turbines in the Rosses and Donegal in general now? Presumably he’s still around, would be around my own age.
They're bloody awful, have totally ruined the scenery wherever they are...pull them all down!

That was a very dragged out build up so much time wasted that could have been used to give out more information
