Imagine the year is 2030.
You are walking down your street. Your local newsletter just announced that your community is now running on 100% renewable energy. You are thinking about that as you walk – even though energy is largely invisible in our lives, you can sense the changes.
Your street looks different. Seven years ago in 2023, only a few of your neighbours had solar panels. You look up now and you can see solar panels on your roof, on next door’s, on the house across the road – in fact on almost every single roof…
Our Chair, Heather Smith presented this vision at the Annual Gathering of Churchill Fellows in Adelaide and published the full speech at RenewEconomy. It ends with the following message:
“Community energy is the answer.
A speedy, affordable and truly sustainable energy transition is the question.
And you can be part of it.
Join us!”
