Power to the People – a new film drilling deep into Cornwall’s energy future
The latest film by award-winning charity Cornwall Climate Care, looking at the crucial issue of Cornwall’s energy future, is launching with a series of public screenings from late April.
Power to the People, presented by Cornish surfer and geologist Lucy Cotton, explores the exciting opportunities, huge challenges and frustrating problems facing us in our efforts to wean ourselves off fossil fuels.
With fantastic resources of wind, sun, tides, geothermal heat and critical minerals, Cornwall is in a unique position to drive the whole country’s clean energy revolution.
The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero sent out an Open Call for Evidence (England only) earlier this year. WREN have appealed to policy-makers to remove unhelpful barriers so that community energy can provide its full benefit, for all.
Cornwall is in a unique position to drive the whole country’s clean energy revolution.
£19,000 is available in 2024 to support environmental and sustainability projects. Clean Earth Energy Ltd , who are based in Wadebridge, generously provide the money for the fund.
