Below are some links to youtube videos that you may find useful - I had hoped to show the Samso video at the event at Sconser but technology was against me.
Samso is an island in Denmark that generates all its own electricity and also sells back to the grid. Key things to think about are the issues about ownership that are felt by a community when they see a purpose and value to an approach. The first one is interesting in that this is a business person ( a farmer) committing to energy issues because he thinks it is the right thing to do even though there is no immediate 'payback' in financial terms.

The third video is a community in rural Cheshire that have looked at ways to get the whole community excited about what they are doing. I am being sent DVD's of this and an update of their work so if anyone wants to use it for a local event I can send you a copy to use.
