The UK needs to turn itself on and wake up to micro-power

Energy produced in Britain has historically been the governments and big businesses responsibility.  This process is heavily reliant on fossil fuel and too much energy is wasted in heat loss and distributing the power to consumers.

We need to wake up to what the rest of Europe is doing with its country energy supply and start acting.  Germany, the Netherlands and other European countries households and businesses generate electricity from rooftops, gardens and buildings.  More than 300, 000 solar systems have been installed in three years and micro-generation provides nearly 12% of all the country’s electricity.  The system also allows households to earn up to 8-10% returns on investing in their own home systems and in some cases pay their mortgages with the income earned.
