## Resource

Greater Manchester is set to lead the charge in community-driven clean energy, receiving $1.4 million to fund local solar and wind projects—part of a national “People’s Power” initiative aimed at slashing bills, boosting local economies, and tackling climate change. With record-breaking heat this summer underscoring the urgency, Great British Energy is launching a $30 million fund to empower communities to own and profit from renewable energy, mirroring successful models in Germany and Denmark. Already, 150 projects across England are powering public buildings and saving $50 million annually—money reinvested right back into neighborhoods. This isn’t just about green energy—it’s about putting power—and profits—directly in the hands of the people. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
