Produktbeschreibung

"An excellent overview of everything you need to know about community energy; from the technologies, to the legislation, the financing and the community organising. With excellent examples, from a number of countries, it sets out what can be done, how to avoid the pitfalls, and just how big the benefits can be. It's a truly invaluable resource." Craig Bennett, CEO, Friends of the Earth "Community energy has huge potential to help the UK meet our energy and climate objectives, whilst making society fairer and more democratic." Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey, Former Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, UK, Chairman of Mongoose Energy, "The transition to renewable energy is an opportunity to transform the ownership of our energy too. It's great to see communities taking charge of meeting their own needs, deciding how to change the way they use energy, and letting them reap the benefits." Patrick Harvie, Member of the Scottish Parliament How can your community generate its own renewable energy and income? Can you cut your energy costs and reduce carbon emissions at the same time? Gordon's expertise will guide you to a future of clean and sustainable energy. Help make the change with this essential guide for individuals, communities and commercial developers and bring your community together for the good of the environment
