sorry I pressed send by mistake.... community windmill will not get anything like the financial return for it's output making it, and probably any future community renewable energy scheme in UK, non viable. Climate change means us changing, either reactively in a response to it's consequences or proactively in holding back the negative effects. This Government withdrawing from a commitment to renewables is criminally short-sighted, putting them firmly in the “bystanders” camp.

I wonder is anyone feels optimistic about the Summit?
