S1 E0: Community renewables introduction

AEE podcast

In this episode, we talk about the shift taking place, thanks party to Fridays for Future, from finding the right price for climate action to an ethical argument. Community renewables can benefit from this shift because community energy might not always be the cheapest -- but we don't have to do what's cheapest. And without community renewables, climate action will be more difficult.
