Energy Climate

The transition to clean energy is moving far too slowly. Trapped by a century of fossil fuel investments and politicians that struggle to plan beyond the next election, the “Big Grid” that powers our modern world is outdated and in dire need of an upgrade. Freeing Energy offers a new and faster path towards a clean energy future — one that is more reliable, more equitable, and cheaper.

Everyone needs to be more involved with the huge task of changing from fossil fuels to renewable and less polluting alternatives as quickly as possible for the health of the planet and future generations. Whether this is actively promoting alternative energy, joining and supporting pressure groups, working within the industry, investing in green technology or just telling people about it, you can make a difference. The responsibility is huge and the timing is crucial. We all know (even those who don’t want to admit it) that our current path of capital and carbon driven development is ...
