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.
