Power to the People

With fantastic resources of wind, sun, tides, geothermal heat and critical minerals, Cornwall could drive the whole country?s clean energy revolution. However, the UK?s 100-year-old grid infrastructure means this potential can?t be harnessed ? while huge numbers of local people are living in poorly insulated homes they can?t afford to heat. Power to the People explores the exciting opportunities and huge challenges facing us as we wean ourselves off fossil fuels ? from a farmer who?s found a novel way to combine food production with solar panels, opportunities to use our historic heritage to power the future, and projects to harness the amazing untapped heat 5km down in the Earth?s crust.
