A film produced by
Cornwall Climate Care
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.
Featuring developments in Cornwall, this film has many
resonances with energy generation, conservation and consumption
here in Devon.
Following the film there will be Q&A discussion with the
audience led by:
Rob Rickey: Rob is an architect who has worked
in the U.S., Iran and the U.K. for fifty years. He is a qualified
