Show Notes
In the UK, the cost of living crisis and the spectre of fuel poverty have made energy a hot topic. But for years, onshore wind energy has been left out in the cold, with a virtual moratorium on new turbines since 2015. How then is the Lawrence Weston housing estate in Bristol about to erect one of the UK’s tallest turbines? In this story of rebellion and energy justice, We the Power explores the capacity of community energy to shift the balance of power towards people.
