One day the people of Marlow could be £50 million a year richer. Making money too, selling our excess home-grown energy. We could cut our dependency on (and the fortunes we pay annually to) ‘those in power’. This is, of course, controversial, and deeply unpopular with those currently 'in power' - and those who defend them. But our community and consciences would be 500,000 empty oil drums lighter, and 300,000 tons of CO2 cleaner and more respectable.

A fresh positive illuminating experience – a light bulb moment – can be a very good way to start to turn old-fashioned wasteful habits upside down. We won’t ‘save the world’ by changing a few lightbulbs. Neither will we save it without doing so!
